Feel special? You should. The Sovereign Lord of the universe has your picture tattooed on the palms His hands! Believe it: “Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands” (Isaiah 49:16).
I’ve seen stories of couples who breakup and are forced to modify a tattoo of their ex, though they swore they never would. Well, God’s tattoos stick; no modifications will ever be necessary. You’re a keeper – He will never lose interest in you.
Of course we know God doesn’t have hands like us, but the symbolism of this verse is crystal clear. He is encouraging us to focus on His amazing love which leads to His vice-like grip! It’s as if He is saying, “I love you so much that I permanently inscribed YOU on to My hands; I CAN’T let go of you!” This is great to know when you’re losing your own grip on life during a major crisis, like a cancer battle. His grip matters most.
So even though life can be incredibly hard, try to focus on the facts. He has got you and He will never abandon you… and He has a tatt to prove it. Allow yourself to be held close by Him.
Father, give us the ability to believe Your love and care even when we feel so alone.
