In Isaiah 49:15, the Lord rhetorically asks, "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast?" Of course not. But, he promises, even if she did, he could not for he has engraved our names in the palms of his hands.
As a child of God, your name is tattooed in his palm. This gives new meaning to Jesus' promise in John 10:29, "No one can snatch you out of my Father's hand." Just how would one go about grabbing a tattoo out of anyone's hand, let alone God's?
The settled truth is that no one and nothing can separate you from God (cf. Rom 8:38-39). Only you, by the freedom of choice God has given can, "turn your back on God even as a washed pig returns to the mud" (2 Pet 2:20-22).
As long as you desire to follow Jesus, regardless of how much you struggle, you cannot fall or be plucked from his grip. Despite the fact that you have not developed spiritually as much as you think you ought to have or you're not as good a person as you believe you should be, don't give up on you - God hasn't. Jus' Say'n.
