GOD KNOWS YOU BY NAME

I have written your name on my hand.

Isaiah 49:16


Quite a thought, isn’t it? Your name on God’s hand. Your name on God’s lips. Maybe you’ve seen your name in some special places. On an award or diploma.… But to think that your name is on God’s hand and on God’s lips … my, could it be?

Or perhaps you have never seen your name honored. And you can’t remember when you heard it spoken with kindness. If so, it may be more difficult for you to believe that God knows your name.

But he does. Written on his hand. Spoken by his mouth. Whispered by his lips. Your name.

When God Whispers Your Name
