"Behold! I have engraved you on the palms 
of My hands!" Isaiah 49:16

"Behold," says Immutable One, "I have engraved 
you on the palms of My hands." Not on the mountains, 
colossal as they are, for they shall depart; on no page 
of nature's vast volume, for the last fires shall scorch 
them; not on blazing sun, for he shall grow dim with 
age; not on glorious heavens, for they shall be folded 
together as a scroll. But on . . .
the hand which made the worlds, 
the hand which was transfixed on Calvary, 
the hand of might and love;
I have engraved you there! No corroding power 
can efface the writing, or obliterate your name! 

You are Mine now, and Mine forever!

"Behold! I have engraved you on the palms 
of My hands!" Isaiah 49:16
