Isaiah 49 - My Sheep (Palms Of My Hands)
9. I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
10. For the Lord in his mercy will lead them;
He will lead them beside cool waters.
15. Can a mother forget her nursing child?
Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?
But even if that were possible,
I would not forget you!
16. See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands.
8. At just the right time, I will respond to you.
New Living Translation (NLT)
Finally! Isaiah 49. It's one of my personal favorites.. yes, again ;) What can I say, I just love the book of Isaiah! 🔥👌
There's so much Jesus in this book, sometimes it feels like I'm reading New Testament.
Have you ever read the Bible as a series of Love letters? If you haven't so far, you should try it. That makes all these songs I make, lovesongs. And they are.
(Zeph 3:17)
"I would not forget you, (..) I've written your name on the palms of my hands" (Isa 49)
It's a loving God Who says: "come into the light, come out in freedom".
That's what He said to me, after having struggled with depression for over 20 years, a strong longing for death, living with so many addictions, failing miserably on my own. 3 years ago, He called me into the light, into freedom.
Cause my name is engraved in His hands. He didn't forget me. He kept calling and wouldn't stop till I was in the Light, walking in freedom.
You know some folks try to diminish the love God has for you. There's also sin, they say, we are flawed, and.. Yes, but sin has been dealt with (Jesus).
What remains is His everlasting love.
When God called me to do this project of Love (it's all in the name ;), Jesus told me in a dream: "This is our project of Love, together we will show the heart of the Father to the world".
I say: you can't exaggerate God's love. You just can't. If you wanna ponder over something, ponder His amazing Love for us. ❤️🔥
