God's Tattoo

While traveling Portugal, Spain and Italy for the next three weeks, I won't be posting much. But I may on occasion. Today is one occasion. Enjoy!

In Isaiah 49:15-16; the Lord rhetorically asks: Can a mother forget the baby at her breast?  The answer is, of course, no.  But even if she did, the Lord says that He will not. In fact, He cannot for He has engraved our name in the palm of His hand. 

That's something to consider: God has your name tattooed in His palm. This fact gives new meaning to Jesus' promise in John 10:29, "No one can snatch you out of my Father's hand."  Just how would you grab a tattoo out of anyone's hand, let alone God's?  

No one and nothing can separate you (Rom 8:35-39), that is, except you by your own choice (cf. 2 Pet 2:20-22).  No matter how much you struggle, as long as you keep your eyes on Jesus and strive to follow Him, you cannot fall from His grasp.  

So, despite the fact that, you have not developed as much spiritually as you think you should have or you're not as good as you think you should be; don't give up on you - God hasn't.  Jus' Sayn.
