YOU are Engraved (Joyfully) on the Palms of The Father's Hands!



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  With His own hands, God has created a special serving of JOY…just for you!

            Is it hard for you to grasp the truth that God loves you unconditionally?  We all make mistakes; we’ve made ungodly choices throughout our lives.  But He still loves us.  Yes, we disappoint Him…as when children disobey their parents.  Our selfish desires often lead us to take our eyes off of the Father and cause us to stumble.  BUT the FATHER’S HANDS are always outstretched toward us, ready to pull us up from the heap of despair and lovingly encourage us to start over again.

             Isaiah 49:16  (NIV) is a wonderful reminder of how much he loves us: See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;”

Sometimes this verse is misquoted as “I have engraved your name on the palms of my hands.” Actually the word picture in Isaiah 49 indicates that God has engraved not just our names, but our very selves, on his hands. The point is to show that God loves us, cares for us, and will never forget us.

            Picture yourself in the mighty hands of God; He lovingly holds us to protect us.  He will never forget us because we are ENGRAVED (carved, inscribed, chiseled, etched, impressed, imprinted) on HIS HANDS!  If that doesn’t fill your heart with joy….nothing will! 

            I'm jumping with joy that I’m engraved on the Father’s hands….just as YOU are!
