Isaiah 49:16a “ See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;”
“I will never forget you…” how many melodramatic movies have had that line. “I will never forget you…” are supposed to be words that bring comfort in a time of sorrow, and often they are a promise that is kept. But humans do tend to forget, and time heals wounds of the heart.
But imagine someone who wants to remember you so much that they are willing to carve you name in their hand. This is what God does; our name is in God’s hands. We can never be forgotten or forsaken because God knows us.
We are never alone. God holds us in the palm.
And if you think about, how did our name get engraved on God’s palm, could it be with a rusty spike at a place called Golgatha? Be assured, God never forgets God’s children. The question is, are you a child of God?
Amen
