Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands.â Isaiah 49:15-16 (NLT) Just like a mother cannot forget her child, God cannot forget you. Have you been abandoned in life by a spouse or a parent? God will never abandon you. Have you been rejected by those you trusted the most? God will never reject you. Have you been left behind by the people who were supposed to walk through life with you? God will never leave you alone. When you go through any of those painful experiences, you will be tempted to think that God has forgotten you. But thatâs impossible! You were made to be loved by God. He created you as an object of his love. In fact, did you know God has a tattoo of your name engraved on the palms of his hands? The Bible says in Isaiah 49:15-16, âCan a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my handsâ (NLT). Where did he get the tattoo? On the cross. With nail-pierced hands and outstretched arms, he showed you just how much he loves you. He loves you so much it hurts! He loves you so much heâd rather die than live without you. He loves you with an everlasting love. In heaven, no one is going to have any scars except Jesus. His body will have all the scars of the cross. Why? Because he wants to always remember how much he loves you. When you donât understand whatâs going on in your life, you need to remember this: You may not have a solution. You wonât always have the answers. And you wonât always get an explanation. But you do have Godâs presence and his love in your life. When life doesnât make sense, you have to hold on to that promise. [PLAY todayâs audio teaching from Pastor Rick >>]( Talk It Over - How does knowing Godâs ways are âfar beyond anything you could imagineâ (Isaiah 55:8) help you when you donât understand what he is doing?
- Is Godâs presence enough for you when you donât have answers for your suffering? Why or why not?
- Who in your life needs to hear that God has not forgotten them? How will you reach out to them today? Where will you spend eternity? The Bible says you can only get to heaven by trusting in Godâs Son, Jesus Christ. You canât earn your way into heaven: âIt is by grace you have been saved, through faithâand this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of Godânot by works, so that no one can boastâ (Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV). If youâre ready to commit your life to Jesus, start by praying this prayer: âDear God, you have promised that if I believe in your Son, Jesus Christ, everything Iâve ever done wrong will be forgiven, I will learn the purpose of my life, and you will accept me into your eternal home in heaven one day. âI confess I have sinned, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died to take away my sins and that you raised him to life. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow him as Lord from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. In Jesusâ name I pray. Amen.â If you just prayed to accept Jesus, please email me at Rick@PastorRick.com and let me know about it. Iâd like to send you some free materials to help you start your journey with Jesus. The post [Your Name Is Engraved On God’s Hand]( appeared first on [Pastor Rick's Daily Hope](.
