A rich person 

is wise in his own eyes, 

but a poor one who has discernment sees through him. 

Proverbs 28:11 CSB 

Can we catch a glimpse of Jesus in this proverb?

One of the things that Jesus stood against was those who believed that their own righteousness was enough, perhaps these are the "wise in their own eyes".

And Jesus walked in the shoes of the poor. 

He was born into a poor town, in a country that was under the rule of a military empire, he had been a refugee, he had known rejection from his own people, his own family, abandonment from his friends, and abuse at the hands of the powerful. 

He used borrowed transport, couch surfed for accommodation, and when he died literally only owned the clothes on his back which were taken from him. 

And he could see through people, discern their hearts and motivations. 

He sees through me.

Discerns my heart.

Knows my motivations.

And still loves me. 

Still seeks me out.

When I'm lost, still comes looking.

When I'm wandering off always welcomes me back.

When I'm hurting, hurts with me. 

Same for you :)

We're his beloved children, and nothing can separate us from his love.

Nothing
