He Knows All About It
His understanding has no limit. Psalm 147:5
Finn, a Siamese fighting fish, lived at our house for two years. My young daughter would often bend down to talk with him after dropping food into his tank. When the topic of pets came up in kindergarten, she proudly claimed him as her own. Eventually, Finn passed away, and my daughter was heartbroken.
My mother advised me to listen closely to my daughter’s feelings and tell her, “God knows all about it.” I agreed that God knows everything, yet wondered, How will that be comforting? Then it occurred to me that God isn’t simply aware of the events in our lives—He compassionately sees into our souls and knows how they affect us. He understands that “little things” can feel like big things depending on our age, past wounds, or lack of resources.
Jesus saw the real size of a widow’s gift—and heart—as she dropped two coins into a temple collection box. He described what it meant for her as He said, “This poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. . . . [She put in] all she had to live on” (Mark 12:43–44).
The widow kept quiet about her situation but Jesus recognized that what others considered a tiny donation was a sacrifice to her. He sees our lives in the same way. May we find comfort in His limitless understanding.
How might you show compassion to someone who is upset about a “small” problem? How does God respond when you tell Him about your problems?
God, thank You for knowing me completely and loving me. Help me to feel Your comfort when I consider Your infinite knowledge of my life.
祂全都知道
祂的智慧无法测度！—诗篇147篇5节
奇奇是一只泰国斗鱼，我们养了它两年。我年幼的女儿把鱼饲料投进鱼缸后，都会弯下腰跟它说说话。每当幼稚园的小朋友谈到宠物时，她会神气地宣称奇奇是她的宠物。后来奇奇离世而去，我女儿的心都碎了。
这在我看来是小事，但我母亲劝我要听听女儿的感受，并告诉她：“上帝全都知道。”我同意上帝知道每件事，只是想：这真的可以安慰她吗？接着我想到上帝不仅知道我们生活中发生的每件事，祂还看到我们的心灵深处，知道这些事对我们的影响。上帝了解，因为我们的年龄、过去的创伤或是资源缺乏的关系，有时“小事情”也会让我们觉得是件大事。
当一位寡妇在圣殿的奉献箱投入两枚小钱时，耶稣看见这奉献真实的价值与心意。耶稣这样形容这奉献对她的意义：“我实在告诉你们：这穷寡妇投入库里的，比众人所投的更多。因为……这寡妇……把她一切养生的都投上了。”（马可福音12章43-44节）
虽然寡妇没有透露自己的景况，但是耶稣完全了解，在别人眼里微薄的奉献，对寡妇而言却是一大牺牲。耶稣也同样看透我们的生命光景，愿我们能从祂无法测度的智慧中得着安慰。
上帝，谢谢祢爱我，完全了解我，求祢帮助我从中得着安慰。
你如何关怀因“小事”而难过的人？当你将自己的难处告诉上帝，祂如何回应你呢？
