The blessing that being known to God

Jeremiah 1:5
September 2nd 2018, 1st Holy Day of the month
Rev. Tadashi Nagae, pastor

We wish to know God more, but we should remember that the LORD knows us. Let us confirm 3 things:

Firstly, we are known to God. The LORD has known our existence even before we were formed in our mother's womb. Not only that, God knows everything, about our minds and our futures as well.

Secondly, we are known to Him as His friends. Just like intimate friends, the LORD tries to tell us important truths and lead us.

Thirdly, He loves us while knowing everything about us. When we look at ourselves, we see our foolishness and insufficiency. However, the LORD loves us, knowing our weakness and foolishness.

A lot of information is overflowing. There may be quite a few things that we should know. Nevertheless, let us walk in peace while knowing the truth that the LORD knows us!

<The Verse of the Bible>
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
        before you were born I set you apart;
        I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)
