God Remembers

“I will not forget you; I have carved you on the palm of my hand” ~ Isaiah 49:15

I first remember seeing this quoted in a pro-life newsletter. It was a reminder that everyone, no matter how small or unwanted, is loved by God. Everyone. From the world famous billionare to the lowly toilet cleaner unknown to the rest of the world; from the old bachelor waiting to die alone to the tired mamma collapsing in her chair at the end of the day with a toddler in her arms, praying for the vacation that never seems to come.

And those innocent children, torn from the safest place, murdered in the name of justice ... well, God remembers them, too. In His eyes they have souls, bodies, lives, no matter how small they are. Each one of them has a name. Each had a future.

He will not forget.
