God's Tattoo

" See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;" Isaiah 49:16

God has inscribed our names in the palms of His hands. The origin of the word for "inscribed" here, means to cut into stone or metal. It has the idea of permanence. God has placed our names in the palms of His hands permanently, much like the tattoos which we have today. But it isn't a reminder to God, for He needs no reminding of anything. It much more a sign of caring and ownership. We belong to Him. John 10:28 says, "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." We are there, permanently in the palm of His hands. And no one can snatch us out of His hands, just like no one can take a tattoo off of your arm. No one can reach out and grab you out of God's hand, like a purse-snatcher stealing a lady's handbag or purse. This won't be very long today, but just wanted you to know that God has a tattoo too! What does it look like? Do you have a mirror handy? Shalom.
