Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you."
--TheSecretPlace--
This statement blows me away. How astounding is it that God, the God of the universe, who is so high and lofty, knew you and I, and took His 'time' to search us out, when we weren't even dust? He did this with each of us, and it is truly astounding. He saw us and sees us as valuable.
When I think about this, I think about how blessed we are to be know by God. God Himself knew us to the point of forming us, He knew His plans for our lives, the lives we were to live, and He knew all of the trials we were-are- to go through, and He knew us, and knows us well enough to help us through those hard times.
He has known us, even before we were conceived He knew us.
This means that He knew our good, and He knew our bad.
He knew our personality.
He knew our strengths, and our weaknesses.
He knew our gifts, and talents.
And He knew our not so talented areas of life.
HE KNEW US, BEFORE HE FORMED US.
He thought about how we were, and WHO we were, until we came to be, and He still thinks about us, and He still knows us the same.
When He knew us BEFORE we were formed, He knew us just as well as He knows us now, AFTER we have been formed, and He actually continues to form us into His likeness, (if we are willing to let Him.)
The LORD knew us before He formed us, He knew our form, and He still couldn't help but to love us with all that He is, and the amazing thing is that He loved us so much, even though He knew how weak, and fragile we are, and how we are so weak in all that we do. He even loved us to the point of death-because He wanted us to know Him-Just as we are known. And before mankind came to be, Jesus even knew that He was going to die on the cross.
He loved us to the point of death!
His sacrifice was a very real thing, Jesus hung on a cross for over 12 hours, and suffered greatly, was ridiculed, and bore ALL OF OUR SINS--When we should have been the ones to die on the cross, but because HE KNEW US, and loved us, and He knew and loved those of us who hadn't been formed(YOU AND I)===He bore our sins on the cross. This is the God who knew us before we were formed. O to be known by this God of LOVE!
He made Himself weak, so that we may have access to Him.
---Intercession---
Jesus, thank you that You knew us, and loved us to the point where You would die for us, Your sacrifice brings us life, and brings life to those who are dead. Jesus I just pray that You would wake us up, wake up Your bride, we have been sleeping for far too long, and You are saying that it is time to wake up, and prepare the way for Your second coming, because You want to bring justice, and make things right, and so I thank You LORD, and ask that You would send the rain of Your Holy Spirit, and that You would send a great outpouring of Your LOVE, and the prophetic, so that we may walk in fellowship with You, and with one another. Please help us to love You, and to love others well. In Jesus Name.
Be blessed!
Kasey.
