He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
-John 10:3b, NLT
This is one of my favorite verses in all of Scripture.
It reminds me of God’s love for me. Specifically, it reminds me that Jesus knows me intimately.
I am not just a number to Jesus. He knows my name!
Think on this:
The One who made the Universe and holds all power has chosen to know your name and guide you by calling you by name!
This gives me great comfort.
My Father in Heaven knows me. He cares enough about me to learn my name. Plus, He guides me by name.
