About how God knows you and loves you…
Matthew
10:30
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So
don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. (NIV)
Perhaps there are times in your life
when you think no one really knows you…but God knows you and He loves you.
Perhaps you are surrounded by people every day with whom you make no real
connection, but God knows you, God connects to you, and God loves you. Maybe you
live in a circumstance or in a place where it seems God would never visit, but
God knows you and God lives within you even when you are in a place where it
seems God would never visit. God knows more about you than you know about
yourself and He loves you. God knows about every thought you have ever thought,
every feeling you have ever felt, every experience you have ever experienced,
and He loves you. Since before you were born, in the eternity of His presence,
before you were alive upon the earth, God knew you and you were in His love. God
knows you now, He feels your pain when you fall down and get hurt, and He loves
you. God knows you now and He knows how disappointed you have been when things
did not work out like you wanted, but you were still in His love even in
disappointment. It is because God knows you better than you can know yourself
that He continually calls you to be His child in His love. It is because God
knows you and loves you that He calls you to turn away from a life of mistakes
and sin. It is because God knows you and loves you that He wants you to turn
away from the sin that always brings hurt and devastation to your heart. It is
because God knows you and loves you that He always calls you to come to the
cross of His only Son who died just for you. It is because God knows you and
loves you that He wants you to go back home to live with Him in the eternity of
His love.
