the other night i laid awake in bed for quite awhile, dwelling on the overwhelming thought that HE knows me. it is so good to be known. to not have to make any effort at revealing myself, my true intentions, or to struggle at accurately expressing myself to the God of abraham, isaac, and jacob. HE just knows, and does with that information what HE knows i need. my many weaknesses and shortcomings are encompassed by HIS understanding and HE is my helpmeet in providing those things that make me stronger. i can rest assured that my unique situation and path is very, very understood by HIM. i needed to hear that from HIM and, just the other night, i did.
and then i awoke the next morning to this:
marvel at the wonder of my continual presence with you. i know everything about you. you don't need to work at revealing yourself to me. i am freely available to all who call upon my name, who open their hearts to receive me. this simple act of faith is the beginning of a lifelong love story. i, the lover of your soul, understand you perfectly and love you eternally.
-pieces from jesus calling, october 2nd.
the night before i had laid awake uttering in my mind, "you know me... you KNOW me..." as i let it process, sink in, and envelop my thoughts that were so preoccupied and fragmented on their own.

It's good that he can understand our scatterbrain-ed-ness, because I often have a hard time expressing it.
