THE JOY OF BEING KNOWN BY GOD

There is no greater joy than being fully known and fully loved by God. Psalm 139:1-4 beautifully expresses this truth: “O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.” God’s intimate knowledge of us reveals the depth of His love and care.

In John 10:14, Jesus declares, “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.” As the Good Shepherd, He not only knows us by name but also leads us with tenderness and compassion.

To be known by God is to be deeply valued. His presence surrounds us, assuring us that we are never overlooked or forgotten. Even in moments of doubt or struggle, His intimate knowledge of our hearts gives us peace and security.

This relationship is not one-sided. As He knows us, we are invited to know Him more. In His presence, we discover the joy of a personal and growing connection with the One who created us.

THOUGHT TO PONDER: How does the knowledge that God knows you completely impact your relationship with Him? Are you investing time in knowing Him more deeply?

PRAYER: Father, thank You for knowing me fully and loving me unconditionally. Help me to embrace the joy of being known by You and to seek a deeper relationship with You. Let my life reflect the security and peace that come from Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
