Hide and Seek with God

O Lord, You have examined my heart
and know everything about me. 
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my every thought when far away.
-Psalm 139:1-2 (NLT)

So often we go about our days, behaving however the moment strikes us, not really worried about how our behavior may bless or grieve the heart of our Heavenly Father.  It is easy to slip into a mentality that God only knows about the things we show and share with Him.  But as the psalmists says, God knows our hearts, He knows our very thoughts.  Not just the ones we share with Him.   And the beauty of that is that He still loves us despite it all.
We play an interesting game of hide and seek with God, although in reality there is no hiding and we should be seeking Him.
How different would our days look if we remembered that every thought and action is seen by God?
