I Know You By Name
“I know you well and you are special to me
I know you by name…”
When you read those words
You felt valued and loved
But those words aren’t my words, they’re God’s
They’re found in Exodus 33:17
And He speaks them over you, my friend
I KNOW YOU BY NAME
If you’ve been reading my blog posts for a while
You would know that I lost both of my beautiful, old Labrador’s last year to Cancer
Tragically within just a few months of each other
Now that the deep mourning has passed in our family
And the loss doesn’t sting so bad
We decided it was time to look around for another dog
We prayed that God would send us a dog who needed to be rescued
And would fit into our family life perfectly
Well, God answered our prayers
Meet Rose
I know
She’s adorable!
Rose needed to be rescued
Being 8 years old, her chances were slim to find a new home
Unfortunately, Rose came from a puppy farm when she was surrendered to the pound
And had been used as a breeding dog
She’s never had the privilege of living in a family home
And
What made her story even more sad
Was the fact that she didn’t even know her name
We’ve had Rose, our chocolate Labrador for just over a week
And the change in her is amazing
But the great thing is
She now responds to her name
We have restored her spirit
And brought back her sparkle
“I know you well and you are special to me
I know you by name…”
From ashes to beauty
Rose’s story has a happy ending
But what about your story?
Is it like Rose’s?
Filled with the emptiness of not knowing what unconditional love feels like?
To hear your name being called
And not responding because you don’t know how special you are?
God is searching for you, my friend
He knows you by name
He knows you well
And you are special to Him
When He calls you by name
He tells you that he forgives your sins
He reminds you how merciful He is towards you
He shows great love and helps heal your wounds
He sets you apart because you are His
“I know you well and you are special to me
I know you by name…”
All you need to do is respond
And just like Rose
You will start to bloom
