He Knows My Name

We can all use some reminders of the love that God has for us, so as I was thinking about the next blog post I should write this song came to mind.  This song is a great reminder of God's never ending love for each of us.  Nothing that we have done or ever will do will make Him love us any less.  That doesn't mean that He approves of our sin just because He loves us.  But, because He loves us, He is willing to forgive our sins.  As you read through the lyrics of this song, don't do it mindlessly!  Let it be a reminder of God's presence in your own life and reflect on the many ways that He has changed you.  

I have a Maker
He Formed My Heart
before even time began
my life was in his hands

He knows my name
he knows my every thought
he sees each tear that falls
and hears me when I call

I have a father
he calls me his own
he'll never leave me
no matter where I go

He knows my name
he knows my every thought
he sees each tear that falls
and hears me when I call

He knows my name
he knows my every thought
he sees each tear that falls
and hears me when I call

Don't ever forget how much God cares for you!  Even before you were created or knew Him, He loved you and had a plan for your life.  While you may not always be able to understand His plans for you, you can trust that He knows what is best and would never do anything to harm you.  Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord.  "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you."  It is easy to lose your focus on God--especially when all of the earthly worries that we all carry seem to get so great that God gets blocked out.  When God feels far away, take some time to call on His name.  Psalm 55:16-17 says, "As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me.  Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice."  He hears you when you call!  Do you need to spend some time calling on the name of your maker?
