Episode 97: Advent Day 21

Isaiah 49:16

“See, I have written your name on the Palm of my hands.”

How do you like to wrap your Christmas presents? There are so many options! Just this week I saw a viral video that showed how you can stretch that last square of wrapping paper further by turning your present kitty-corner my mind was blown! Some people  prefer to rap in paper with cartoon characters or Santa’s, or snowmen, or if you're like me the greatest invention ever was the wrapping bag!

Whatever presentation you choose the last step is attaching the gift tag. You lovingly write a person's name on the tag and set the gift apart for that specific individual. So the tag is the very last step in the whole process of thinking about, shopping for, and purchasing just the right gift. And when someone sees the gift sitting under the tree that's just for him or her, what a wonderful feeling that is! 

God's love for his people is the most well planned, extravagant, beautiful gift of all time. He went to great lengths to prove His love for us. Then, just so there wouldn't be any question, The Lord tells His people that their names are engraved upon His perfect and holy hands. 

The gift of God's love has our names literally written on it, and it's ours to open and receive each and every single day. It would be terribly sad for such a precious gift to remain unopened. The enemy would have us believe that God's gift isn't for us. He tells us that we're unworthy of God's love. Do not believe it, sweet friends. God has made us were the through his son sacrificed. God reached out his hands, and they are marked with our names so that you know the gift of Christ is just for you.
