This just hit me like a ton of bricks.
"You know, who cares what man knows you name? The question is, does God know your name?" - Paul Washer.
Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
I've heard it once said "To be known by God is to be loved by God. To be loved by God is to be known by God." The scenario in Matthew 7:21-23 is the worst thing I could possibly hear, ever. I mean, doesn't that scare you? When I read the quote from Paul Washer, it made me think about how lately I've been trying to get myself known. I felt convicted because that was speaking about me and it brought things back into focus. Who cares if people don't know me. Does God know me? That's what I should strive in my life to be known for.
