He is ever so familiar with each and every star. He is even more familiar with each of His children. When you are feeling as if no one cares about you, or no one understands your pain or confusion, rest in the simple knowledge that He knows and He cares. He knows you far better than you could ever imagine.

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is in my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it all together. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. (Psalm 139:1-24)

Don’t be afraid to share your heart with Jesus. Have no fear of allowing Him in to work in your darkest places, where doubt and fear can clutch you in their mighty grip. Be bold to invite Him into your joys, triumphs, and celebrations. He wants to be a part of ALL of it. He knows you, your heart, and everything about you so well.

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. (Matthew 10:30)

You are never ALONE, you are never UNKNOWN. He knows you. He loves you. He rejoices in your celebrations and weeps with you in your sorrows. He is the greatest, most dedicated, most sincere, most trustworthy friend you will ever have.

Grab His hand and hold on. He will guide you over the mountaintops and through the valleys. He will walk you through the fire and into the glorious sunlight. He will stand beside you in the storm and point you towards the rainbow of promise. Oh what a friend we have in the Keeper of the stars.
