A Special Valentine

I know it's a bit late for me to count this as a Valentine per se, but here is one passage that has come to me lately like a Valentine from the Lord. ☺️ It speaks of His pursuing of us in His searching of us and knowing us inside and out. I have read this group of verses so many times, but in this song, it sounded almost like a love song, which it always has been. I was pondering it so differently the other day, though, and realized this reality and I felt so marveled to only, just now, have understood it this way. We spend so much time trying to know ourselves with personality types and quizzes and friends and books, yet He is "acquainted with all [our] ways" even before we can ever know ourselves. I think I had always thought of it as God just knowing everything, but then I realized how personal this was, that it was a song I can sing to Him, and not just David, who wrote the Psalm, and I was, and still am, kind of overtaken by such a grand thought. So, I guess I could come across as sappy, but I don't care. I am just baffled by the fact that the Creator of the universe would care to know all my ways, and not only that, search them out! Such is His Love.
Happy Belated Valentines Day! I hope this sings to your heart the way it did to mine!☺️❤️

P.S. I was sick this Vday, so I had to stay home, but I was wonderfully taken care of by my sweet husband and kids! I really felt that this was one of my favorite Valentine Days! We spent the day together, minus my missing church, and it was very calm and peaceful! Then the hubby and I ended the night with dessert and Downton Abbey, so I hit jackpot. ☺️❤️
This pic is from a date a few weeks ago. We didn't photographically document today, I guess because I was still in recovery mode.
