"Even they may forget, but I will not forget you," Isaiah 49:15.

So, who's forgetting whom, here? (And who's not forgetting whom?) Well, the idea is this. Can a mom forget her nursing baby? (Are you kidding?!) Can a mom forget the child she bore? Not likely! Not at all! But, the Scripture says, even if she did forget (how absurd this is!), it's even more absurd to think God has forgotten his own! God will not forget you. God, after all, is God. His people anchor his love. Their name is engraved on the palm of his hand. (Engraved? that's what it says. Tats are pretty hard to ignore). Jehovah God comforts. God will have compassion on his distressed people. Open your eyes! Look! See!

So, we lifted up our eyes, we saw the scars in Jesus' hands. Saw our name written there. Drawn together, by him, with a brother or sister today, we rise above fear and share faith. We give thanks to the God who took pains to write our name down.
