ENGRAVED UPON HIS HAND

 This is my hand (obv).

Isaiah 49:16

"Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me."

Jesus' hands have marks in the palms left from His crucifixion.

He endured the crucifixion for us.

He IS the covenant between God and us, that we are forever part of His family, that He took the sin of the world upon Him,

so that there would be no separation between us and God, and heaven, and all the love He has for us.

I am engraved upon His Hands.

There is nothing I can do to earn this gift.  I can never be good enough.

I am Engraved upon His Hands, into His flesh.

I am humbled whenever this imagery appears in my mind.

It reminds me of who I am, 

And the price He paid to redeem me.

The greatest gift.

God has mercy for ALL of us.

Also, have mercy for the people you know who might not be so nice to you.  God loves them too.  We all need His mercy.
