Acceptance is All in a Name

My cousin Julie let her daughter join Facebook. Emma's friends are relatives and close family friends. Her mother chose who she could invite to be her friend. I received a friendship request from Emma, accepted it and received a message in my inbox from her, it read: Do I really know you - really really know you, my mother does, but do I? I wrote her back and said you call me Anne not Annette, I am aunt Barbara's daughter. She wrote back and said OK, I accept you.

Aren't you glad, the One who counts really REALLY knows us, He knows me no matter what name I use...He knows the number of hairs (and their real colours) on our head...He knew us before we were knit together in our mother's womb...He called us by name...if you feel far from Jesus, if you are hiding from Him...please know He loves you, nothing can separate you from His love.

The Bible tells us:

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Rest in Him - He loves you so much, He died for our sins and transgressions, He died for our illnesses and infirmities, call on Him - He is waiting...

Do I really KNOW you? That is some good stuff there! I love it that He really knows me and loves me even still. BUT I also want Him to be able to say that I really KNOW Him...not just of Him...but KNOW Him! Amen! Blessings sweet sister!
