For some of you, you know that God exists, but do you know that he is concerned with all the small details of your life also? You are not just an object taking up space, you have meaning and worth. My name is Britney, and I wrote this essay, “Does God Know Who I Am,” because he felt far away and it didn’t seem he was receiving my prayers and cries for help. You are not just a social security number or just an ordinary person. You are a child of God, so always remember that. I hope that this essay will encourage you, like it has for me.<\/em><\/p>\n

Do 6 billion people all have equal access to God and his love? Is an orphan really fatherless? Do my prayers only hit the ceiling? Is God asleep or on vacation like the god Baal in the Bible? If you get down to it, God must certainly be trying to keep His image up, because there is an angry mob knocking on heaven\u2019s door, trying to get Him to answer their requests.<\/p>\n

I felt as though if there were an inner circle where God was, I would never fit in. In school we have so many different groups and clicks. At church we have youth groups. In sports we have teams. The good part about being in God\u2019s inner circle is that everyone qualifies. \u201cJesus loves all the children of the world,\u201d is a great song to describe this. The only requirement to be in God\u2019s inner circle is that you are human, so unless you are an alien, (which I hope you are not) you automatically have rights as being a child of God.<\/p>\n

I am interceding for the world, “God please save us all! Not just me, we all are crying out for something real, some of just don\u2019t know it yet.” I\u2019ve gotten to the point where I\u2019d rather God help everyone else first, there\u2019s lots of people out there who are suffering a great deal more than me. But if He has a spare moment, an angel who is in between assignments let\u2019s say, who has time off, (angels sure keep busy) happens to be in the area, and has nothing better to do, then please go right ahead and come to me. I\u2019ll accept any sort of divine intervention there is! When you start to think of your fellow humans as brothers and sisters, you will care about their well-being and not try to keep God all for yourself.<\/p>\n

I sometimes wonder if God remembers me. It\u2019s as though I feel since He has to keep track of so many names, He must have trouble keeping up with it. If you think about facebook and how many other people have the same first and last name, you\u2019ll get what I am saying. (Although, I haven\u2019t found anyone with exactly my name!) It seems as though there is an identity crisis right now in the world. People don\u2019t know their true nature and are seeking to only be what other people around them keep telling them they are. People who get told they are a certain way all their life will naturally stay that way. But God says you are pure love, always have and always will be. The state of your spirit is always constantly love; like the state of matter which in science says stays the same, it just changes form. God\u2019s love really does stay the same and it does come in different forms. If God named the stars, knows how many hairs are in our heads, and knows how many grains of sand there are as the Bible verse says, what makes you think that God would have a memory problem now? There is a song that goes, \u201cHe knows my name. He knows my every thought. He sees each tear that falls and he hears me when I call,\u201d Tommy Walker.<\/p>\n

Does God give each of us equal attention? If God created the universe He can certainly listen to everyone at once. Everyone is His favorite and He loves us each of us the same. He holds everyone on his lap, just as Jesus held the little children in his arms and said, \u201cLet the little children come onto me.\u201d Become like a little child again and let him pick you up and rock you to sleep, feeling completely safe and secure again, as He tells you the great love He has for you.<\/p>\n

If you consider for a moment, how many people occupy planet earth, now and ever has been, you may think you are unimportant or that no one will notice if you are gone. There is a song by Kutless that says, \u201cI am not just a man, vastly lost in this world, lost in a sea of faces\u2026.\u201d God has his eye on you, He watches every sparrow, and you can never ever be out of hearing or seeing range of God. Even if you are not an influential person, you are still important. Everyone has a part to play. He is always listening, always trying to speak to you, but are you listening back?<\/p>\n

I wonder if God and his angels ever discuss our progress and our lives with a council meeting in heaven. Does He think some of us are too difficult and wish He never created us? Does He say, \u201cThis person is a flop, she\/he is not going to do anything great with her life, hopefully the next person we choose for this mission will be better.\u201d Or, \u201cGet rid of this one, it\u2019s not useful anymore.\u201d Of course not. He would not send us to a dumpster, just because we stopped working. No, God loves us all the time, never wavering. He doesn\u2019t decide to love us only on our good days. He is not a boss on earth who expects his employees to perform perfect all the time. He is the one encouraging us and working right besides us, like a partnership. So step right into His office, and plan on being treated with mercy and grace.<\/p>\n

I thought if I fell off the edge of the earth, even then God wouldn\u2019t find me. Even though that is physically impossible and irrational thinking, (I learned that gravity is always pulling us toward the center of the earth) I felt as though God has something against me, because He wasn\u2019t helping me the way I wanted him to. But you got to accept help in whatever form it is, because any help at all is better than nothing! Life is more fun with surprises and that keeps life interesting. There is a Bible verse that says, \u201cYou shall seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart\u2026\u201d Keep on seeking God, sooner or later, you will get His return signal. There is another verse, \u201cGod rewards those who diligently seek Him.\u201d I know this from firsthand experience. God can\u2019t say no or turn away someone who is earnestly looking for Him.<\/p>\n

We are all just visitors to planet earth in a way, just passing through, sharing our experiences as we walk the path together. God says today (as mentioned in Howards NDE), \u201cI accept you. You belong here. I don\u2019t make mistakes.\u201d Remember these words as you navigate through life, (from one of my poems) \u201cNothing is ever lost. You are always found. Nothing ever slips out of God\u2019s sight; you are always safe and sound.\u201d<\/p>\n

Listen to these two songs:
