The Tattoo of God

Sometimes when I want to remember something important, I write it on my hand, if my calendar isn’t handy. If I don’t do that to remind myself, I may not remember for days.

The palm of your hand is a very important part of you. It is always right there in front of you, where it can be seen. You use your hands for everything, so if something is written on your hand, it would be hard to forget.

God has a tattoo of you on the palm of His hands.

Isaiah 49:16 N IV “See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.”

You are important to God. He wants to constantly be reminded of you. Every time He stretches out His hand to do something, He sees you. What a comfort! If God be for us, who can be against us? The very one who gave His only begotten Son thinks about you every time He looks at the palm of His hand.

Sometimes it might seem like you are all alone in the world, but Jesus will never leave you. You may have lost your last friend, but you have a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Jesus Himself said, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you. I will go with you even to the end of the world.” I am never alone. He has promised never to leave me.

Tattooed on God’s hand is a permanent reminder of me to God. I am engraved where He will always hold me close.
