Recently, a friend told me I walk really loudly. My other friends heartily agreed: they could always tell when it was me walking because my steps were so loud. To be honest, I was caught off guard and a little embarrassed. I\u2019d gone twenty-two years of my life without knowing about my distinctive gait. Even though I thought I knew myself well, here was a fact I was totally oblivious to. The whole thing got me thinking though. However much my friends know about me, God knows so much more. God knows the things I know about myselflike how much I enjoy chocolate or that I love dogs (even though I\u2019m allergic). But God also knows the things about me that I don\u2019t know. He even knows things about me that only Heas my Creator and Saviorknows. He knows my victories and my failures better than myself or anyone else. This knowing makes Jesus\u2019 sacrifice on the cross all the more special. It wasn\u2019t a sacrifice for a stranger. Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection was for someone fully known. In His love, He died for me, even when I was still a sinner (Romans 5:8). My faith is in Him for all He has done, as I rest in the fact that I am fully known and deeply loved in Christ.
