God’s tattoo
THE LULU CHRONICLES
Before I took off on LuLu the other morning I first sat down
for my daily meditation time. Right now I’m using Sarah Young’s devotional
book, Jesus Calling, to inspire my
thoughts and prayers.
Did you know that God has a tattoo? Me neither. But He does.
In Isaiah 49:16 it says, “I have engraved
you on the palms of My hands.”
So cool. So what does that
mean?
Well, as I pedaled along LuLu and I pondered this thought.
Does it mean that God can sometimes be forgetful, and He needs to write stuff
down and since He doesn’t have any paper around He writes on His hands? Don’t
think so.
What I think that passage means is that I am so dear to Him
and so permanently packed into His heart He wanted my name constantly before
Him. Hence, the writing on the hands.
I don’t know about you, but to be loved that unashamedly by
the One who spoke the great oceans into existence brings me to my knees. It
also makes me want to make Him proud and not sorry He did something so
everlasting.
The next time you’re feeling small and insignificant,
remember, your name is inscribed on the Holy of Holies.
Have a great day,
deb
P.S. LuLu, of course wonders when her name is going to show
up inked on my bicep. When pigs fly, darlin’. When pigs fly.
