Most of us want others to let others see the “pretty” side of us by concealing our “ugly sides”.  But if the real us is known,  we  surely won’t be loved.

Although the Israelites were taken captive and conquered by Babylonians, God told them not to fear.  He knew them by name and He was with them in every humiliating trial. (Isa. 43:1-2).  They were under the secured hands of God because  He loved them despite of their ugliness.

God knows the real us and still loves us immeasureably (Eph. 3:18) because we are precious and honored in His sight and … He loves us” (Isa. 43:4)[:]
