“This is what the LORD says, he who created you, he who formed you. ‘Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.'” Isaiah 43:1

Do you know that you have a Father in heaven who has twice ownership over you? He’s your Creator who first knitted you together in your mother’s womb, and He’s your Redeemer who came to this fallen earth to pay the ultimate ransom to bring you home. Twice ownership as Creator and Redeemer. Yet, most of us live our lives as if we are orphans trying to survive this world on our own. I know because I have a tendency to live this way on a daily basis. I have to remind myself that I am not alone. I am His and He knows me by name. Don’t those words just amaze you? The God of the universe knows who you are. It’s almost unfathomable. Every word you have spoken and every move you have made are known to Him. AND, despite fully knowing you, He unconditionally loves you and longs for you to intimately know Him and trust Him with the details of your life. Do you? Today, I challenge you to pause and reflect on this amazing God who says “you are worthy, you are accepted, you are loved, and you are known!”
