There is a beautiful verse in Isaiah that speaks to the heart:
”See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.”
(Isaiah 49:16 NIV)
God says through Isaiah: You are important to me!
See!! I have engraved you on the palms of my hands (imagine a tattoo of the love of your life, embedded in your skin forever and ever.) Reminding God constantly of you.
You are always on His mind. BUT MORE:
“Your walls are ever before me.”
What does that mean?
Well, at that time, the walls of Jerusalem were broken down, crumbling and falling over.
So God is saying: I see your trouble, your brokenness, your fear and your despair.
God sees. You are not alone. You are not forgotten. God Sees.
You will be restored “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord”
(Isaiah 49:18 NIV)
