Genesis 2:18 – behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands. Is. 49:16.  “I was on His mind”.

I love the way Charles Spurgeon says it:  “I have graven thee”;  it does not say thy name’.  The name is there, but that is not all:  I have graven thee.  See the fullness of this!  I have graven thy person, thine image, thy case, thy circumstances, thy sins, thy temptations, thy weaknesses, thy wants, thy works;  I have graven thee, everything about thee, all that concerns thee;  I have put thee altogether there.  Wilt thou ever say again that God hath forsaken thee when he has graven thee upon His palms”.

I did a painting of Jesus holding my hands. I did this painting in a time of great pain in my life.  I knew my only hope was to be in His hands so I visualized my hands in his – thus the painting.  My name is engrave on those nail-print hands but not only my name but “all that concerns me”.
