Ps. 139:1 \u00a0Oh, Lord, thou hast searched me and known me\u2026.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m often amazed at the thought that even though the Lord knows me, that HE still chooses to love me.\u00a0\u00a0 Me\u2026.. a little ole nobody with fearful tendencies and so far from child like faith, it\u2019s scary. \u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He knows when I\u2019m discouraged, when I feel alone, defeated and depressed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He knows when I\u2019m at a loss of words to pray and when I can\u2019t even cry out to Him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He knows when confusion has darkened the path and I can\u2019t even begin to see a flicker of light.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He knows when I can\u2019t lift my head and even utter, help me Lord.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He knows when I want to spend a day saying thank you for my many blessings, but I end up crying through the tears, thank you for being there Lord.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He knows when my heart is screaming I need wisdom, direction and peace and I wonder when it will come.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He knows when I can\u2019t take \u201cit\u201d anymore and He waits for me to leave it at HIS feet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He knows\u2026.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, I wonder, why do I not leave \u201cit\u201d there?\u00a0 Why do I carry these burdens, doubts and fears?\u00a0 Why, when I know that HE will carry the burdens and ME too.<\/p>\n

When I can\u2019t do this, when I can\u2019t take another step, when I can\u2019t stop the tears or see the light \u2013 HE KNOWS and he chooses to love me anyway, wait for me anyway and pour mercy and grace out on me so that the JOY of the LORD can be my strength.\u00a0 (Neh. 8:10)<\/p>\n

He has created me to be exactly who I am.\u00a0 He has worked all things together for good for me in the past and will continue to do so.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will continue to be in awe that even though he KNOWS me, He LOVES me.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

How about you?<\/p>\n

HE knows you and chooses to love you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That is awesome! Don’t you think?<\/p>\n
