Engraved on God's Palms: The Mother-Love That Cannot Forget — Isaiah 49:15-16

“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you! Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands. your walls are continually before me. — God stakes his covenant faithfulness on a love more tenacious than the deepest human bond — and inscribes the proof into his own body.
