WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR
Today's reading: Isaiah 64-66
"As surely as my new heavens and earth will remain, so will you always be my people, with a name that will never disappear, says the Lord." Isaiah 66:22 NLT
Maybe you've seen the Disney/Pixar movie featuring the toys that 'come to life'.
This verse reminds me so vividly of the one cowboy hat wearing doll who has his owner's name scrawled on the bottom of his boot in permanent marker.
No matter what crazy predicament this toy found himself in, he could look at this 'autograph' and know whose he was.
No matter how far from home he found himself, he knew by looking at his 'tag' who he belonged to.
No matter how he felt, he knew by taking a quick glance at his beloved's signature someone cared enough to sign their name to their very being.
WOW!
And to think, that's all biblical.
God does the exact same thing for us, born again believer.
He has signed His name to your heart--and no amount of scrubbing can remove it. No amount of sin can cover it up. No amount of accusations by our Accuser can erase it.
Let me just say, that's a huge amount of assurance for those of us who have wandered AND for those of us who have wanderers.
