Did you know that God knows your name? And did you know that God knows the names of believers and non-believers? Let’s look at some scriptures that prove both these points.

In Acts Jesus addressed Saul directly on the road to Damascus: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. (Acts 9:4-5)
You and I are not a bunch of unknowns in the Spirit world. God knows us by name! He is thinking about each one of us and wants to be our friend.
For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11, Amplified Bible)

You Know My Name (by Tasha Cobb)
You know my name, And oh, how You comfort me, And oh, how You counsel me, Yet it still amazes me, That I am Your friend
You know my name, And oh, how You walk with me, Oh, how You talk with me, Oh, how You tell me, That I am Your own
No fire can burn me, No battle can turn me, No mountain can stop me, ‘Cause You hold my hand, Now I’m walking in Your victory, ‘Cause Your power is within me, No giant can defeat me, ‘Cause You hold my hand
