A Relationship

How precious are your thoughts
about me, O God!
They are innumerable!
I can't even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
Psalm 139:17-18b
I would venture to say that you have at least one thing in common with millions of other people in the world. That is, you are most likely in a relationship of some sort with someone....a spouse, a child, a parent, a friend, etc. If it is a healthy, thriving relationship it probably involves spending time with that individual, being concerned about what concerns them, giving of your time, sacrificing yourself, finding out what pleases them, and thinking of that person often.
To think that God desires a relationship with me and is constantly thinking of me just blows my mind. The Message says, "Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful! God, I'll never comprehend them! I couldn't even begin to count them— any more than I could count the sand of the sea. Oh, let me rise in the morning and live always with you!"
He showed how much he loved you by sending his only Son into the world so that you might have eternal life through him. He created you. He knows your name. You are in His hands.
I have a maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hand
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call
I have a Father
He calls me his
never leave me
No matter where I go
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call
