Today is a special day for me. Today just so happens to be my birthday. And I just have a very simple and short thought that has been on my mind today.

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”

God has known me longer than I’ve known myself. He knew me before He made me. He knew me while He was making me. And He has known me every day since. And He will continue to know me until I die and even beyond that. God actually knows me better than I know myself. So I should listen to what He says about me rather than what I think about myself. Which is encouraging because what I see as broken and sinful, He sees as precious and made new. And that makes for a happy birthday!
