       I Knew Where They Were And I Know Where They Are

Tell them that I know them.  I know their coming in and going out, their 
sitting down in despair and their standing up in joy.  I know when they 
hurt and by whom they were hurt.  I know and understand their cries, 
their fears, and their insecurities.  I know what makes them tick, their 
actions, and reactions.  I know the tears they have shed in the night 
season I have kept them all.  I know the fear and frustration of their 
families not serving Me.  I KNOW, I KNOW. 

This walk has not been easy, I know the price many of you have paid to 
serve Me.  That cost has not gone unnoticed.  It has been accounted to 
your righteousness

I know them.  I want them to desire to know Me.  Don't be afraid of 
pursuing Me.  To really know Me, My heart, My desires, My thoughts to 
you and My body.  No longer be content to know Me by what other people 
say I am. 

You pursue Me to know Me in a more intimate way.  When you know Me more 
intimately then you will discern the lies the enemy of your soul tells 
you about Me.  Your intimacy with Me then becomes a weapon of warfare 
against him.  If you know Me and My thoughts and character, then you 
will immediately be able to discern the lie sent to deceive you and 
distance yourself from Me.

I know you; you must desire and pursue Me to know Me.  I promise I 
won't be hard to find.  Seek Me and you will find Me.
