‘See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands’
Isaiah 49:16
Recently, the
Bishop visited my church and was having such a fun time with us; he pulled out his
mobile phone and took a photograph of himself standing in front of the congregation.
This type of photograph is called a ‘selfie’
or a ‘group selfie’. Selfies are usually
taken with a smartphone before being quickly shared on social networking sites
such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
According to
the BBC News Magazine, the selfie has arguably become the greatest photographic
trend of our time.
People take
selfies for any number of reasons such as updating their Facebook profile
picture, capturing a moment in time with friends or simply they may want to
share a fun event with others.
This got me
thinking. I reckon God took His
favourite ‘selfie’ when he tattooed your name on the palm of His hand. And then He went on to perfect it when He
sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in you.
‘Do you not know that your bodies are
temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you’
1 Corinthians 6:19
YOU are
before God ALL the time. God will never ever ever forget you, but He made
a double insurance just in case, and He wouldn't need to look at Facebook or
his phone to see you – He only has to look at His hand!
How cool is
God?! He started taking ‘selfies’ before
the word was even invented!
What do you
think?
