He Knows Me – A Poem
If you read my blog often you may have noticed that I haven’t posted anything for the past month. This is by far the longest I have gone without blogging since I started this blog in September 2009. There are many reasons for this, but I think mostly I just needed a break and didn’t really have anything I truly wanted to write.
This weekend I went to a women’s retreat at my church. It wasn’t a full-weekend getaway retreat, but was just a Friday evening and Saturday until 4:00 gathering. I love the all-weekend overnighter type retreats, but this shorter retreat was perfect because I don’t think I could have made it to one that was longer or more intense this weekend. During a session of quiet time reflecting on some scriptures I wrote a poem. I decided I would share it here. The substance of the poem is something I know, but really I needed to be reminded of this weekend.
He Knows Me
He knows me
Still He loves me
He knows me
Yet He cares
His love is everlasting
Pulls me close to Him in prayer
He loved me
From the beginning
He has counted
Every hair
His love is everlasting
Fills my heart with peace in prayer
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6.
Just beautiful! What a wonderful poem to precipitate your comeback!! Indeed he knows and still loves!
welcome back….smiles…we all need to take those breaks when we need them…to rejuvenate and refresh….i love the encouragement your verse gives…to know and be known is one of our greatest desires…and to know he knows us and still loves us regardless….what a reassurance…

John 14:5-6
Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way? Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Welcome back, Linda. I missed you.
You’re so sweet! It is nice to know I was missed. 🙂 Peace, Linda
Linda . .this is so perfect. I could see it being a song. God bless you, whether you are writing or not! 🙂
Deb, Thanks! I hadn’t thought of this as a song, but it does have a lyrical quality. 🙂 Peace, Linda
