God is real, and if we are to be real, our relationship with Him must be real. Honesty before God enables us to be authentic. Humbly bowing before Him does not just put us in our place, it enables us to discover who we really are as His servants. Brokenness before Him ironically brings us to a new wholeness. To know Him is to get to know myself. To honestly confess my true self is to have a renewed self, shaped like our Master.
“O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.” Psalm 139:1-3 (NIV)
