Wise Quotes - HE KNOWS YOUR NAME!

Every individual has been given a name by which they can be identified......Whatever the name is, it is often a warm feeling when someone  knows you by YOUR NAME and calls you by that name. There is that intimate feeling of closeness when you hear your name being mentioned.

Marriage has changed my last name but anytime i hear someone call me by my maiden name, i immediately know that person REALLY knows me very well.......too well to have some sort of relation or friendship. And most likely, such people are very close childhood mates from school. It is always a joy to hear even if i don't remember the person that well, but the fact they call me is enough to have a chat. For me, being able to call me by my native name means  we share a BOND , a CLOSENESS or a FRIENDSHIP.

There is more to a name than we ever imagine. Whatever the meaning of your name, God knows you by A NAME. Think about this, God knew you before you were born. In actual fact He had a name for you before you were born.....And He knows you by that name.

Jeremiah1:5(NIV*) says - Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

There is a level of intimacy in God knowing us that no relation on earth can ever have with us. He said in His Word that: But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (1 Peter 2:9 NASB*)

WOW!!! How pleasant it is to know you're Loved by a God so intimately. Just go through the day with shoulders up, head held high, knowing you're loved by THE ALMIGHTY.

This song comes to mind whenever i think of how loved i am by God to call me His own. Have a blessed day.

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 hears me when I call

I have a father
He calls me his own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go
