Where’s your name – part 1.

Have you ever written a shopping list on the back of your hand (only to discover when you are in the shop that you have washed your hands one too many times and it is now just an illegible smudge)?
Or written down someone’s number on your hand because it was the only surface available at that moment? Of course you have.

Or what about in your younger days (when you were easily infatuated), did you ever sit in class writing the name of your new crush on the back of your hand? Intricately encircling it with any number of hearts, as if this somehow transformed your feelings onto some higher emotive level? I bet you did :o)

Well check this out:
“Look, I've written your names on the backs of My hands.” Is 49:16 (Msg)

Your name is not written in biro; it is not a message that will wash off or loose its meaning. God wrote your name on His hand because He is infatuated with you, He is completely in love with you [just look at the cross].
You probably carry a picture in wallet or on your mobile phone of your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife, child or any other loved one close to your heart. God does the same, He has your name written on the back of His hand. Mind blowing isn’t it; the hands that flung stars into space [with astonishing accuracy] have your name etched upon them lovingly.

So the next time you see your name depressingly written on the top of a credit card bill, an unimpressive bank statement, or on your badge in work or the cover of your books in school remind yourself that your name also appears somewhere else; somewhere you truly belong.
