This afternoon, my lungs grasping for air, my inner joys being rattled and realizing that truly man, the imperfections we have, do not compare to the perfections in knowing Jesus. Do you ever need to be reminded of this? Getting caught up in the emotions and drama and taking it all on for what? The compromising, even for a day, what He knows and that joy that only comes from walking with Christ. Walking boldly and confidently, because He Knows My Name.
She called and reminded me of one thing. I needed that reminder. I needed that inner joy of knowing Him, because sometimes I do get distracted. The past few days I have been distracted. Do those every day things that occupy our thoughts distract enough that we forget. It does for me. So her phone call and reminder brought me to the most joyful tears I have cried all week.
"He Knows Your Name, Elizabeth" and she did not have to say anything more. You see I got my heart distracted by silly events brought on by just being part of this world. Part of being a wife, a mother, a friend. He does know my name. He knows my heart, he knows my intentions, he knows my thoughts. And then His kind of peace comes over me. Guess what He Knows YOUR name too. He knows your struggles within, the challenges, the broken promises and in designing you, He gets you and He Knows Your Name. Take a moment and click on the link below. Close your eyes and listen to the words. What joy and comfort that He truly does Know My Name.

Oh, darling friend! What a true reminder for all of us! We get distracted... and just need someone to remind us of how precious we are to Him. And you are precious to me. I love you.
