I Will Not Forget You

Known and Loved

00:00 / 00:08:53

The first time I found Grace drawing on herself I opened the palms of her hands and saw crosses and hearts on one hand, and “I LOVE GOD!” inscribed on the other. She looked up at me and said: “It’s because I just LOVE him so MUCH!” I want to love Jesus in a way that is “written” all over me. When my palms are open they are raised in delight of him and when my palms are clenched in fists I am holding on to him tightly, never wanting to be separated from him or his love. In a way, it seemed Grace’s love was imitating how Jesus loves. She wrote it on her hands, just like he did…

See, I will not forget you, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands. (Isaiah 49:16) (NIV 2002)
