He Knows My Name

Well, I think we can all agree that I'm a pretty rotten blogger. :)  I used to be good about posting almost daily a few years ago, but then it seems I get busy, I get bored with writing, other things are distracting me...like life.  But today, I just felt a bit compelled to write.  Last night I watched a DVD from the Passion series with Louie Giglio.  I've seen this DVD series before, but every time I watch them again, it's like it's the first time all over for me.  And undoubtedly every time, I have tears streaming down my face even though I tell myself, "I'm not going to cry this time."  I just cannot watch these DVDs and not be moved. If you ever have the chance to see these DVDs, do not pass them up. It will bring God to you on a whole new level.  So often,  I put God on a human level. I mean, I know he's "big", but I don't know just HOW big.  I pray and I think, how is He going to handle this problem or heal that person? I think these thoughts because I'm putting him on my level even though we read, "Nothing is impossible with God".  I cannot stand when I do this, but isn't it just human nature? How can someone be so big to have created the entire universe to care for me and my problems? And how is someone ever going to "fix" them?  Am I the only one who makes God so small at times?? As I watched this DVD last night, Louie Giglio was showing different stars and planets in our galaxy that are beyond anything we can comprehend.  I'm serious, it will literally blow your mind. The earth is the size of a golf ball compared to the sun.  Just let that sink in for a minute...we're on this little "dot" and God knows us, even down to the number of hairs on our head?  WHOA!  There is so much out there in space that our smallness has even yet to discover. There are things around us that we don't even know about or see, and yet God is always there for us, caring for us, loving us just where we are. We mean everything to Him.  I need to see these reminders of the universe to knock me in the head and remind me, God is not "our size". He is not on our level, He is BIGGER than anything we can fathom. And yet I still worry and let stuff get me down.  Every day I long for a stronger relationship with Him. Some days I feel close to Him, and other days, I feel He's a million miles away, but yet I NEVER doubt for one second that He's not there. That He's not watching my every move of each day.  That He sees all my tears, struggles, heartaches, and my good times, too.  He is THERE.  I've had a song on my mind the past few days, and I just want to share some of the lyrics. If you've not heard the song, "He Knows My Name", I recommend looking for it on YouTube and just listen to the words.  So today, my friends, I leave you with the words of a powerful song. He knows my name, and He knows yours, too. Take these words to heart today and may they bring you peace through your struggles and trials.  God Bless!!

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 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

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