As you read this devotional, know that God loves you! He knows all about you, and still He loves you! He says so!
Read His word in the first person… you are at the center of God’s thoughts… you are that important to Him. His love for you is personal because He personally sent His own beloved and only begotten Son into the world… for you!
(NASB) Psalm 139:1-6 “O LORD, You have searched me and known me.”
And You love me, even now!2 “You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.”
And You still love me!3 “You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.”
Even knowing me so well, You love me!4 “Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, You know it all.”
Even when I say something wrong, You know it all… still You love me!5 “You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.”
I am enclosed in Your love for me!6 “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot attain to it.”
I am blown away by Your love – – – for me!
You loved Adam and Eve – You proved Your love when you made them a sacrificial covering after they sinned against You. Genesis 3
You love me! You provided the sacrificial covering of Your Son’s blood for me – before I was a gleam in my parents’ eyes.
I pray that I never forget or take lightly the love You give me – every day. Even though You know all about me… You love me!

Jesus said,
(NASB) John 10:27-29 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
29 ‘My Father, who has given them to Me, (follower of Christ, that is you!) is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.” (words in parentheses added)
