HOW REASSURING IT IS THAT WE CAN NEVER BE MISUNDERSTOOD BY GOD, AMEN.


When I really take the time to think about it...

You astound me...You really do. Why...?
  
Because You...know me.
  
For so long...You've known me!
 
Why, even before I was but a minuscule
  
living cell...imbedded, by You... within
  
walls of a pre-destined womb
  
You knew... me.
  
When all those attempts...

to end my existence failed, prior...

to You bringing me forth, yea...

way back then
  
You...knew me. 
 
My most private complex intricacies…

You...like an etched
  
map...know.
 
You temper my growths, my declines...and

amidst my vast flaws ...

You...monitor carefully the flourishing

of my attributes.
  
My unapparent fears, strengths and frailties
 
are spread before You vividly...like constellations
 
that adorn a clear night's velvet gown.
  
Your knowledge of me...being so much more
  
innate and intense than the obvious capacity in
  
which I know myself...takes my breath away...
 
You know me!
  
And I am so grateful that You do...
  
so grateful that I needn't ever worry about being
  
misconstrued, or not understood...by You.
  
I literally 'relish' the fact that I never have to defend
  
myself to You...or...take the time to 'explain' anything.

I can enter Your presence and never make a
  
sound...assured that You hear every
  
word...that is never uttered!
  
You will always be a mystery to me...
  
there is so much about You that I just can't
  
comprehend...but then...I am content to know that
  
this is not so with Your comprehension of me...
  
for You...grasp me...completely!
 
Dear Jesus...
 
You...know me!
 

Isa 43:1, Jer 1:5, 2Tim 2:19
