He Knows Me.

Phew, we just ended the week. Tomorrow we embark on yet another one. I was reminded this week (in case you haven’t noticed already) it’s so easy to stress over the things we have to get done in life. And I hate to say, it got a hold of me with all its craziness. It becomes much harder to serve and to love when I am overwhelmed and discouraged. All I have to say is…Praise the Lord for new beginnings!
I am currently reading “Knowing God” by AW Tozer and came across this quote. It is worth your time, I promise:
“What matters supremely, therefore, is not, in the last analysis, the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies–the fact that He knows me. I am graven on the palms of His hands. I am never out of His mind. All my knowledge of Him depends on His sustained initiative in knowing me. I know Him. because He first knew me, and continues to know me. He knows me as a friends, one who loves me; and there is no moment when His eye is off me, or His attentions distracted from me, and no moment therefore, when His care falters.”
These words bring me such abundant amount of comfort and peace; knowing I belong to my Savior, the One who has overcome all! And not only that but He knows me in and out, all my ups and downs, the important and unimportant, my failures and fears, the joys and positive qualities, and the list can only continue. He knows all that and still wants to know me and claim me as His. If that doesn’t allow your soul to rest I am not sure what will.
I hope and pray to go on this week keeping that in mind. No matter what happens or doesn’t happen, no mattter what I can or can’t mark off my to-do list, my Lord knows and loves me.
PS: Loving the rain! I hope to spend some time this week in front of the fireplace staring off into the flames, with some yummy tea. Join the fun!
