Today was a good birthday. I reached a ripe old age of 53. I spent time with my children and my husband. I heard from my extended family. I shared news. I relaxed. I enjoyed life.
And I remember that God knows me. He knows my name. He knows my faults. He knows my sins. He knows my weaknesses. And he loves me still.
He hears me sing. He hears my whine. He hears me laugh. He hears me rant. And he loves me still.
He is my Lord. I give him everything I am. Daily I stop and choose him. He sees when I will fail him. He sees what my next challenge is. He will always be there.
Of every one I know, only he knows me. And I am grateful he hears me.
Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations – that’s what I had in mind for you.”
Psalm 139:12-14 Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day.
Isaiah 43 “Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end – Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
He Knows My Name by Tommy Walker
I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands
Chorus
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
and He hears me when I call
I have a Father
He calls me His own
He’ll never leave me
No matter where I go
Chorus
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
and He hears me when I call
