WRITTEN ON HIS HAND
Today's reading: Isaiah 49:14-51:23, Galatians 4:1-11, Proverbs 4:1-19

"...Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for a child she has borne? But even if it were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on my hand..." Isaiah 49:15-16 NLT

Oh, I know.

Some days you feel as if you've been set aside, mis-placed or forgotten about by God.

Prayers go unanswered. Blessings from yesterday need to be dusted and polished as new ones don't seem to be showering down upon you today. He just doesn't seem as near as He once did. You just feel pushed aside. Set on a shelf, out of sight--out of mind.

Here is a truth: You, friend, have not been forgotten!

None of us have.

We are as precious to God as the day He created our very beings out of the cells donated from our parents. We are as excitedly wonderful to Him as the day we drew our first breaths in this great big, beautiful world He created to bring Him glory. We are as much His today as the moment we asked Him into our hearts at an altar of salvation--whether it was years ago, months ago, days ago or just moments ago. We are more valuable to Him than anything else He created because He made us in His image and placed within us a soul that can seek Him.

He has not forgotten you.

He has your name written on His mighty hand.
