HE KNOWS MY NAME!

What would we do if a well known military official knocked on our door and called us by name when we answered it? We would be shocked, wouldn't we? The first thing out of our mouths would be "How do you know who I am?!" Some would be in awe, wanting to bow down in respect of this high ranking officer! This man who has made a career out of protecting... you and me. But some would be ashamed and try to hide and not let him in!

You can be assured that Jesus, our Lord, King, Commander and Chief knows our names. Each and every one.

Every time I fall into a pattern of worry over my soldier son or when I miss him terribly all I need to do is remember that Jesus knows my name. He knows my heart. He sees each tear that falls. And He hears my prayers.That's amazing! 

I am in awe of my Jesus and want to bow down in respect and amazement that He would take priority in focusing on...me. In knowing that He cared enough to die for me....and wants a personal relationship with...me. With ...you. But some will try to hide and not let Him come in when He knocks on the door of their hearts.

There is a song that keeps coming to mind from time to time. I first heard this on a Promise Keepers CD several years ago. Various friends of mine presented this song in church at different times through the years. It's one that I take to heart these days. And I can just hear my friends' beautiful voices from years past...

Lyrics:

I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
and He hears me when I call
I have a Father
He calls me His own
He?ll never leave me
No matter where I go

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
and He hears me when I call

Whatever military journey you are on, remember...HE KNOWS YOUR NAME! No matter where you go.
