He has written your name on the palm of His hand
The healing and loving posts that I write get the most attention by far on this site. Whenever I write a post about loving ourselves there is a big spike in readers. I love the honesty in the comments that people write. There is an enormous hunger for healing and that is why the church will be going through a wonderful new wineskin, where we learn to tell the honest truth, be raw and love one another as we are.
Today (the 15th of Feb) is my birthday and I’d like to give you a present. If you’re like me, then you’re looking to be made whole and complete. My gift to you is this list of healing posts.
Each one tells a slightly different part of the needed aspects of growth. They all are written from inside of me, they come from my experience of clawing back what it means to be God’s child, what it means to be worthy of His love, what it means to be the apple of His eye.
I pray that these posts will speak to you and give you a sense of the worth that Jesus sees in you. After all, who would die for something worthless? He loves you. Now you should love you too!
- What to do when you’re feeling empty inside
- Why does the bible say to love yourself?
- God has a plan to prosper you… what to do while you wait
- Thank You Lord for a victory
- Emotional healing… what’s it like?
- Unrealistic expectations
- Healing the broken inner person
- Look after *you*
- God wants to heal *all* of us, not just part of us
- The $20 bill – you are valuable
- Get a life! Want things
He loves you. Take a look:
See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands. Always in my mind is a picture of Jerusalem’s walls in ruins. – Is 49:16
Although that was written for Jerusalem, we are all His now (according to Romans). So that verse is for me and you!
This verse tells us that our damage and hurt (the ruined walls of some of His children) is always in His mind and He loves us SO MUCH that He has written our name on His hand. Your name is tattoed on God’s hand. (He has a big hand). That is how much you mean to Him. He’s saying He CANNOT forget you, you are always right there.
Whether you believe that He loves you, or not, either way it doesn’t change how He feels. He loves you.
And no matter what you’ve done today, He chose you KNOWING you’d do it. Think about it, He chose us and wrote our name in His “Book of Life” BEFORE the beginning of this world. He chose you before you knew Him.
The promised healing may take some time to come, but the ruined walls can and will be rebuilt. Remain in Him. He won’t let you go. Stick with Him. Don’t run away like the prodigal son. (And if you have, then just come back). The promised healing will come, bit by bit. It will come, He said so.
May God bless you!
