All Things In Our Lives Are Open and Laid Bare Before God

What does God know about you? The obvious answer is EVERYTHING. But when you stop and really consider what God knows, you may find that it is quite comforting in the sense that He is intimately acquainted with everything you do and His love for you is more than you can even comprehend.
He knew you when you were in your mother's womb
Psalm 139:13, "For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb."
He knows every step you take
Job 34: 21, "For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He sees all his steps."
He knows the secrets of your heart
Psalm 44:21 "Would not God find this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart".
He knows every thought you think
Psalm 94:11, "The Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are a mere breath."
He knows every careless word you say
Matthew 12:36, "And I say to you that every careless word that men shall speak, they shall render account for it in the day of judgment."
He knows every hair on your head
Luke 12:7, "Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
He knows every tear you cry
Psalm 56:8 says, "Thou hast taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Thy bottle; Are they not in Thy book?"
He knows when you are brokenhearted
Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
He sees wherever you are
Hebrews 4:13 "And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do."
Jeremiah 23:24: "Can a man hide himself in hiding places so that I don't see him? Declares the Lord, "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth? Declares the Lord."
He knows how many days you will live
Psalm 139:16 "Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Thy book they were written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them."
He knows what you need
Matthew 6:25-32
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
Now that you know what God knows about you, have you contemplated whether or not you have a right relationship with God?

Great guide, Jeanine! I had to make it a favorite, for sure. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks Laura and Ronyae!
so few people know that they dont just have a soul,they ARE a soul;these souls are eternal and are small sparks of the Divine Light;( the Christ-light,more than real ,is a comparable SUPERNOVA of light and a tidal wave of Gods divine love for us.) We are taught,reasonably,that its OK to WANT to punch someone in the nose,but we must not act on the idea.So we live an inner life of unclean wants;petty jealousies,unclean lusts,well-controlled rages, burning small hates, without ever any overt acts to act out our secret feelings, but,as you saw it,correctly, it is not the act,itself, but the mind,within,that defines us to Gods eyes.And theres the rub.
