New Year's Truth - being known by God!

Happy New Year!
I haven't blogged in such a long time. I believe it to be a reflection of prioritizing during a rather hectic time, not only for myself, but I imagine for most of you as well. But, reading J.I. Packer's book "Knowing God", I encountered a quote and truth that brought much joy to my heart. Here it is. Enjoy, and find complete and utter satisfaction in God.
"There is tremendous relief in knowing that His [God's] love for me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion Him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench His determination to bless me.
There is, certainly great cause for humility in the thought that He sees all the twisted things about me that my fellow humans do not see (and am I glad!), and that He sees more corruption in me than that which I see in myself (which, in all conscience, is enough). There is, however, equally great incentive to worship and love God in the thought that, for some unfathomable reason, He wants me as His friend, and desires to be my friend, and has given His Son to die for me in order to realize this purpose. We cannot work these thoughts out here....He knows us."
Packer, p. 42.

Savor over these sweet words about our Creator, and beg Him to help us know Him, not merely about Him, this year.
