From the time that Adam and Eve ate of the tree, they were not supposed to eat, mankind has been trying to hide things from God. They tried to hide their nakedness. There is no such thing as hiding something from an all-knowing God. We cannot run far enough to get away from his presence.

PS 139:7-10

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?  8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;  10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

We cannot hide our messes, wrong turns, and flat-out sin. He understands why we are broken.  The pain and disappointment we carry.  God knows our thoughts before we do.  He understands everything about us and loves us anyway. Before we were ever conceived, God planned our path. Nothing we do, think or say surprises God.

We can TRUST HIM, with our fragile hearts.  He will heal our brokenness if we just give up running. He knows what he is doing.  There is only one thing he will not do is to override our free will. He wants us to come to him and surrender all that we are, not just the pretty parts.  He wants our brokenness and our scars too.

We cannot hide from God, but we can hide in Him. He is our shelter when we are in need of protection. He is our father when we need guidance. He is our friend when we are lonely. He is our peace in the storms of life.
