His Hands

Isaiah 49:16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

16  “Indeed, I have inscribed [a picture of] you on the [a]palms of My hands;

Isaiah 49:16 In Jewish tradition there is a story representing Israel as God’s daughter, who asks Him to stamp a seal of her on His heart and arm (Song 8:6). God replies that such a seal cannot always be seen, so He has instead inscribed her upon His palms.

When we receive Jesus, God our Father inscribes a picture of us on HIS hand. I just think this is so beautiful because HE (God our Father) wanted everyone to see that we are HIS! Even with all our flaws and mistakes , HE is proud of us and calls us His own. 

Doesn’t that just bless you? It sure blesses me!

The Jewish nation (people) were called God’s chosen people, a Royal Priesthood, a holy nation.  When we receive Jesus into our hearts, we are adopted into this wonderful family.

Ephesians 1:5 NLT 

God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.

I love the fact that when this happens HE then sees us through the blood of Jesus, washed clean, chosen by HIM, HIS child.  HE then gives us a new heart and writes HIS truth on our heart so we will follow HIM. 

God is so for you it is Ridiculous!! 

Hope you will meditate on this, and get it down in your heart that you matter to God.
