Isaiah 49:13-18

Isaiah 49:13-18 

  The answer to the question "Can a woman forget her nursing child?" is no.  (If we're being completely honest, children follow their mother around so closely, more closely than a shadow, that she likely couldn't forget them even if she tried.  Not that she would.  Wouldn't it be great if we tried to follow God as closely as a child follows its mother?)  It would be impossible for a mother to forget her child.
  And yet as closely as that mother pays attention to that child, God pays even more attention to you.  You are engraved on the palms of God's hands -- there is no way that you will be forgotten.  
  So may you rest easy, comforted by the grace of God, by the rock-solid presence of God, by the peace of God.  
  God is with you, now and forever.
