He knows you

So if you were to ponder, I mean really ponder that God knows everything about you more than anyone else how would that make you feel? He knows even your innermost thoughts that you wouldn’t even share with your closest friend. Would it give you comfort or would it strike you with fear? When my Mom taught us in Sunday school and in child evangelism classes after school I remember her saying one time that God knows even the thoughts we will have before we even have them. That scared me a bit because many of my thoughts were not good and I didn’t really know God then like I do now. I , like a lot of folks, used to think God would strike me with lighting if I said or did something he didn’t like. I’ve studied the Bible a lot though from old to néw testament and I’ve found that God is slow to anger and abounding in love. Yes he knows my innermost thoughts. He also helps me to push back those thoughts that are sinful and to concentrate more on the good thoughts that are productive for me and those around me. He could only give me this help by knowing all there is to know about me!! So that he knows me so well, even the bad side of me, actually gives me great comfort. David wrote in psalm 8 , who are humans that God is mindful of us? He considered all the awesome things God created and wondered why he would give us a second glance? He made us! We are his masterpiece. Oh how he is mindful of us!! He loves us so much and wants to be in the most secret places of our lives. That place that only the best of friends could get in. He wants to be that one in our life!! He should be. After all we can’t hide a thing from him and he is much more trustworthy to tell our secrets to than any human here on planet earth!! I don’t know about you but I’m glad when I think about how mindful Jesus is of little old me. I may be nothing in this world to anyone else but I’m something to him. And so are you!! God thank you for knowing us and loving us still!!
