Just this sweet reminder from the pen of Amy Carmichael, renowned missionary to India– over a century old, but so very comforting to us at the beginning of a new year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thou knewest me before I was;<\/em>
I am all open unto Thee;<\/em>
And yet Thou lovest me, because–<\/em>
Thou, my Lord, lovest me.<\/em><\/p>I may not fear, for to the end<\/em>
Thou lovest. Who save only Thee,<\/em>
The sinner’s Saviour and his Friend,<\/em>
Would set his love on me?<\/em><\/p>And on Thee now my heart is set;<\/em>
Thy name is music unto me.<\/em>
O help me never to forget<\/em>
That I am loved by Thee.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nKnowing that we are loved, and heard, and known, by the Savior who came down to live with us, <\/em>gives our hearts the very safest place to dwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAmen and let us walk boldly on, into whatever may come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and your glory. Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You.<\/p>Psalm 63:2-3<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just this sweet reminder from the pen of Amy Carmichael, renowned missionary to India– over a century old, but so very comforting to us at the beginning of a new year: Thou knewest me before I was;I am all open … Continue reading →<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-god-is-enough"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s9XvNH-forward","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/laurel\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/laurel\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/laurel\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/laurel\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/laurel\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2090"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/laurel\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2090\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4070,"href":"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/laurel\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2090\/revisions\/4070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/laurel\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/laurel\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/laurel\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
