WEEK 1 - HE SEES YOU!!

ISAIAH 49:16 – See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. 

This scripture has always marveled me. When I read it, I think of the many people that I have seen in my lifetime with tattoos. Sometimes, it’s a figure of some sort, others will be creature, animal etc. or others will be someone’s name. It is obviously a name of someone very dear to them, more than likely someone who has passed away. Someone they loved very much that they will not get to see ever again in this lifetime. 

If you have that same thought process when reading this scripture, you are indeed coming up short. What I mean is that God’s intention in this statement is not to tell us that He is fond of us. He is telling us that HE SEES US! Always, all the time, every day, in every situation, the good, the bad, the ugly, HE SEES YOU! 

There is nothing that He sees that will take Him by surprise. Nothing that will shock Him or shame him or cause Him to see you as you see yourself. We will always come up short in our own eyes. That will never change, we are human. When God sees us, He sees the blood of His Son covering us. He sees his beautiful daughter that makes Him smile & that He loves more that we could ever imagine. He sees what you call physical imperfections, He sees your faults, He sees your impatience, lost temper, failed marriage, failed friendships, lost job etc. He also sees the good things we do that no one even notices or knows about. Those things that you don’t want anyone to recognize you for because you just want to remain in the background. Those good things you didn’t have to do but went above and beyond as you always do. Those things that you think still do not make you good enough. He sees your yesterdays, todays & tomorrows. He sees you through & through. 

HE SEES IT ALL!! 

And yet He still wanted to engrave you on the palm of His hand. He still sees you through the eyes of the utmost love, unconditional love, never ending love. 

There is nothing that you, the world or the enemy can do to change that! 

That is one tattoo that will never fade, wrinkle or be removed, EVER!!
