OUR LORD KNOWS US!

 

OUR LORD KNOWS US!

Imagine this:

That you are being GRILLED

By a TEACHER in front

Of the whole class=it happens

A second and a third time=

You probably WISH it

Was a dream

But for Peter the apostle

It was NO DREAM=

He was asked three times

IF he loves Jesus=in front

Of the other apostles

Finally=Peter says=

"Lord-you know everything=

You know that I LOVE YOU"                                                                                                 John 21:17

And Jesus KNOWS

Each one of us=he KNOWS

If we love him or not=

He knows each time

That we DENY HIM

In this world=in front of others

What a FAITH FILLED

Affirmation by Peter

The Lord knew of his love

Yes despite that FAILURE

Peter was CONFIDENT

That the Lord

KNEW that he loved him

And he knows us=and whether

We LOVE him or not too

OUR LORD KNOWS US!

"He says=

'Be still=and KNOW

That I am God

I will be exalted

Among the nations

I will be exalted

In the earth'"                                                                                                                                        Psalm 46:10

"Do not boast

About tomorrow=

For you do NOT KNOW

What a day may bring"                                                                                                                    Proverbs 27:1

"I will give them

A heart to KNOW ME

That I am Lord

They will be my people

And I will be

Their God

For they-

Will return to me

With all their heart"                                                                                                                  Jeremiah 24:7

And Peter LOVED the Lord=

He RETURNED to Jesus

And was the ROCK

Of the Church=

To build the CHURCH

And our Lord KNOWS US=

He has faith in us=

I DREAM of the day

When we as a people

WILL return to the Lord

When we will admit=our denials

And love our Lord

ONCE AGAIN

The Lord=OUR LORD

KNOWS US!

"I am the good shepherd-

I KNOW my sheep

And my sheep KNOW ME--------

Just as the Father KNOWS me

And I KNOW the Father--------

And I lay down my life

For the sheep"                                                                                                                                John 10:14

We can't hide

From the Lord=the Lord knew Peter

And he knows us=

OUR LORD KNOWS US!

So tell the Lord

Each day=how much YOU LOVE HIM

And want to serve him

He knows us

Through and through=

OUR LORD KNOWS US!

In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our ALL KNOWING=all loving Holy Father!
