"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me."
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me."
That's some of the most striking words and imagery I can imagine. It's kind of the most absurd question. How could a mother forget her child??? Answer: she couldn't! BUT, even if it were possible, God will NOT forget us! That is amazing. It's not even that He can't forget us, but that He "will not" forget us. He has chosen to remember us. He has engraved us on the palms of His hands. He will not forget us.
