To be seen

“Mummy, mummy look at me.” From our first breath, we desire to be seen. To be noticed.

This modern world has given us the most tangible tools to do that, to be seen by millions – Reels, Tik Tok, YouTube – with ways to measure and monetise that for instant gratification, a dopamine hit with every like. We’ll do anything for the likes – sell our soul, our flesh, our reputation.

That desire to be seen, can now be met. But can it?  ‘Likes’ are a counterfeit. Temporary and empty. So many influences and tubers move on after a few years.

Here’s the real thing. God sees. God knows. We want to be seen by family, friends, a beloved. That’s good, healthy. But when we realise that God sees. That God is our true beloved. That is enough.
