I Have Called You By Name, You are Mine

Hello friends. I am not going to do the usual blog this evening as it has been a very busy day. I am not soaring this evening (see posts from May 16-17) as I am just too tired. However, I will be back tomorrow to continue the series on True Love. In the mean time, I want to give to you the following promise for today.

Do not fear for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name. You are mine. Isaiah 43:1

Can you imagine that the God of the universe, the God that is above all things, the God that created all things, is so personal to us that he not only knows our names but he calls us by them. And because he redeemed us, we are his.

There was a time, when I was around 45 years old that I really didn't think God could love me. I could not fathom it. Why would he want to? He had too many other people to care for. Too many other prayers he needed to answer.

And yet one day, he made it clear to me that yes he did love me and when I really got ah old of that knowledge, it then became to me so awesome that it was still almost too hard to believe. And yet, I did finally get it.

God does have many many people to love. He has many many prayers to answer. But he is God and as God he is big enough to do it all. That is something I just don't have to question. Not any more. He has become real to me and that is what made the difference.

When you are down, and maybe not soaring on the wings of an eagle and you begin to question God and his love for you, then I would tell you to meditate on Isaiah 43:1. Because there is no fear in God, he has redeemed you and he has called you by name. You are his.

How much more peace do we really need then that?

Thanks for stopping by Friends. Take care and God Bless! I will most likely be here tomorrow around the same time but no later than 10 pm. (I hope)
