He knows every single one of us.

The Lord knows those who are His. (2 Timothy 2:19)

The guillemot is a small Arctic seabird that lives on...rocky cliffs.... These birds flock together by the thousands in comparatively small areas.... Hundreds of females lay their pear-shaped eggs side by side in a long row on a narrow ledge.... The eggs all look alike,...[but] a mother bird can identify those that belong to her.... Studies show that she knows her own eggs so well even when one is moved, she finds it and returns it to its original location. She is never confused....

The heavenly Father intimately understands each of His children...knows their every thought and emotion,...is "acquainted with all [their] ways" (Psalm 139:3)...[and] gives personal attention to all their circumstances.
