I WILL HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF MY HAND
Submitted by webweaver on Thu, 2012-01-26 21:58.
Just recently the scripture Isaiah 49: 14-16 has been in my thoughts a lot: “I will never forget you. Your name is carved in the palm of my hand.”
It started when a friend confided to me that she was in an abusive marriage. One Sunday morning she brought her very lively little girl with her to church, so I knew something was wrong as the little girl usually stays with her dad. That is when she confessed to me that her husband was verbally abusive and she was becoming increasingly scared of him. They had really fought that morning so she felt she could not leave her child with her angry husband. She felt she needed to distance herself from the situation so she came to church even though she felt that God had abandoned her. That God had forgotten all about her and her situation. I then reminded her of what the prophet Isaiah had said: “I will never forget you. Your name is carved in the palm of my hand.” That seemed to have brought her some comfort that morning. Enough comfort that she could start to figure out what she should do next.

United Church of Canada Marks World Interfaith Harmony Week
Toronto: Canada is not immune to the poisonous influence of religious bigotry, persecution, and hatred, says The United Church of Canada’s Moderator, Mardi Tindal.
“Incidents of vandalism that target places of worship or other religious sites are reminders that work still needs to be done to build bridges of understanding here at home as well as internationally,” says Tindal.
Tindal made her comments in conjunction with the start of World Interfaith Harmony Week on February 1.
