The idea that God knows everything is not comforting to those who don’t believe, but to God’s children, it’s a source of endless consolation. God is always thinking about us and never stops. It would be terrifying to exist even for a moment outside our Heavenly Father’s gaze. His thoughts are always

tender, loving, and far-reaching, bringing countless blessings. God has always thought about His people—that’s why He chose them and made a covenant of grace that guarantees their salvation. And He will always think about them, ensuring they make it safely to their final rest.

Just as light shines from the center of a lantern through its glass, when truth enlightens the heart, its brightness shines forth in our lives and conversations. You can't improve the fruits in your orchard unless you nourish the trees’ inner health,

and in the same way, a person's life cannot be made Christ-like unless their inner nature is renewed by God.
