You Are Not Forgotten
27-August-2008 from Don Patterson
No matter how
far you "feel" from God, He wants you to know that you are not
forgotten.
Do you know
what a young girl does when she is crazy about some boy?
She will write
his name on her hands, her notebook, the bulletin board in her
bedroom and anywhere else she can get away with it. She wants to think
about him constantly.
Well, look at
this verse:
"Behold, I have inscribed
you on the palms of my hands." -Isaiah 49:16
God
is telling us that he has written our names on the palm of his hands.
We know that he was nailed to the cross right through those names, wasn't he?.
Our names are still on
Jesus' scarred hands in heaven. They are written there from eternity
and he traced them over at our baptism. He has not and will never
forget us.
So, whatever it is that
makes you feel forgotten, use this verse to drive that fear or thought
out of your heart. And remeber that if he is looking at your name on
his hand - he is thinking of how he will bless you through all things.
For further reading - Look at Romans 8:26-36
