“Never! 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! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands. Always in my mind is a picture of Jerusalem’s walls in ruins. …”
Isaiah 49:15-16 NLT
He remembers our brokenness…

The sin which wrecks our lives… ruins our relationship with Him… is always before Him…
His heart always set on reconciliation… redemption… restoration…
Like a mother who longs for the well-being of her children…
He longs for us to know… healing… peace… joy… freedom…
Not just for a moment… but for always…
The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to [Jesus]. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.”
He rolled up the scroll… Then he began to speak to them. “The Scripture you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day!”
Luke 4:17-21 NLT
He Himself said… from the cross… Forgive them… they don’t know what they are doing…
He knows we’ve been deceived… He came to rescue… not condemn…
Don’t ever think for a moment… He doesn’t love you…
He does…
Our only role… is to open our hearts… and receive His love… His healing grace… His mercy which frees…
There is nothing you can do which will cause Him to stop loving you…
Nothing…
If you think there is something in your life… or your past… which has permanently severed any hope of salvation… think again…
Trust just for a moment in His love for you… take it to Him… see what He says…
