Does God know me? A word of encouragement...

[Fragrant Grace]

I am the good shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine.
As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
John 10:14-115

A beautiful word of encouragement for any dear brother or sister here who may be doubting, despairing, despondent .

******
Does God know me among the millions of His angels?

Does He ever fix His thought on me as an individual?

Does He have a distinct and personal affection for me, like that of a mother for her child?

Does Christ, the Good Shepherd, give care and thought to each particular sheep, so that He knows each one's present condition and circumstances?
Does He know when one of His people is in trouble, is sick or suffering, when one has been hurt in some way, or when one is in danger?
Does He know when one strays from the safe enclosure of the fold and wanders off into peril?

The answer to all these questions is the same. Every redeemed one has his own special place in the heart of Christ! Paul put this truth most strikingly in a sentence when he said of Christ: "He loved me, and gave Himself for me!" Galatians 2:20

From JR Miller: the Shining Light 1911
*****

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.
My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.
I and My Father are one.
John 10:27-30

 

[SpiritLedEd]

Many people who call themselves believers don't see themselves as being fully known by God because they don't know the depth and breadth and height of His knowledge and His love. Their thinking is still rooted in the ways of the world.

The word tells us God created us and Knew us before our mothers womb .that He set plans for us ,plans for good and not evil ! That he knows us down the number of hairs on our heads ( the count gets easier with me every day I'm sure ) NO WAY Can we be so designed but to to have Intamate contact with us and us with Him . He knows our thoughts and desires ! And loves us any way , how much more can be said ! ......Rev
