He knows me BUT still loves me

"You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from you Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, "surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me", even the darkness is as light to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand- when I awake, I am still with you." Psalm 139:1-18
It comletely amazes me how much God loves me and how much He cares about me! I know now after being in Mexico for four months that I belong serving God, I am His and I want to help the helpless and the homeless those with no mother, those with no one to love them, I want to show them the LOVE of God. A God that sees all things and yet still loves you. I believe God has been preparing me for many years to serve in the mission field. I believe that is my place. That is everyones place, however it is the where you belong that is the question. Do you belong in the USA or some other country? God knows my thoughts and my desires and He is going to use me because those are my desires and He gave them to me! Thank you FATHER!!
