HE knows my name

"The sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out."--John 10:3

 

I was blessed with growing up in a Christian home with loving parents.  When you are surrounded by Christian values your whole life sometimes the gospel gets a little grey...I often struggled with finding the verses in the Bible meaningful and allowing them to penetrate my soul.

Now that I am a wife and mother, I find myself hanging onto every word of this verse. 

Since college, I have started to lean into God a lot more.  I think God gets us out of our comfort zone sometimes so that we will depend on Him.  It's scary at first, but He is always faithful.

As a new mom, sometimes I just want to be the baby!  haha  I just want someone to scoop me up in their arms, tell me exactly what to do, and just hold me.  So, today, as I read this verse I am reassured that I have a Father in heaven who loves me and knows my name.  I am so thankful for this, especially with everything going on in the news.  I find peace in knowing "the God of angel armies is always by my side."  I have had that Chris Tomlin song in my head all week.  :)
