I belong to a group of about thirty ladies who meet once a fortnight. Four of these ladies are called ‘Kathleen’ which causes a great deal confusion. When talking about one particular Kathleen we have to be clear which one we are talking about. They are different ages and different nationalities. Last year a Kathleen left us, but almost immediately another Kathleen joined. We call her ‘New Kathleen.’
There is Kathleen P, who is just known as Kathleen P., Kath O’B is Irish, so that helps. The fourth lady is the widow of an Iranian man, but his complicated surname is too difficult to pronounce. If we hear that Kathleen is on holiday in New Zealand, we have to further enquire which Kathleen we are talking about.
God does not have any such problem. He knows each one if us individually and by name, even if there are thousands and thousands of people with the same name. He knows each one of us and everything about us. There is no confusion with God. Our names are written on His hands. And what is more He loves and redeems us individually and uniquely. Praise the :Lord
