Today I’ve set aside time to write Victory Calls. So here I sit….waiting…waiting for something…any amount of motivation will do. There’s got to be something in this old heart and mind.  But, alas, I get nothing – nothing at all.
How can it be that I am drawing complete blanks and have nothing to say wherein to encourage my sisters to live in visible victory before the face of God?
          Dear sisters, the above inner dialog took place on a gray, humid, sometimes sunny day that I was feeling pretty good inside. It was my 30th anniversary after all.
          Sitting in the center of my desk – a beautiful bouquet of white, tinged with red roses. Evidence of the fact, that my husband didn’t forget-to-remember that I was/am the bride of his youth. I felt healthy and strong, in spite of many aches and pains.
          Yet I could think of nothing to write. And then, I remembered a song from our Sunday morning worship to the Lord; “He Knows My Name”.
          This song represents continuous healing in my heart for it reminds me of my Heavenly Father’s unfailing, faithful, all the time, always past, present and future love for me His mess of a daughter.
          No hoops to jump through to get it, no shame, no condemnation, not a speck or hint of rejection for non-compliance or non-performance. Simply perfect love personified in the Person of my Savior Jesus!! Now that is something worth sharing!
          So here for your edification, encouragement and remembrance are the words to a simply beautiful song which touches my heart each and every time I hear it because I know, that I know, that I know I am deeply and infinitely loved by my Father God and He knows my name.
          Dear ones, wherever you are today, know this: Your Father loves you, sees you, hears you and knows your name!

He Knows My Name

I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands

I have a Father
He calls me His own
He’ll never leave me
No matter where I go

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call (1)
