In reading a book on Revelation, I was reminded of this verse:
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. ….I will also write on him my new name.” (Revelation 3:11-12 NIV84).
Can we even imagine? A tattoo of a different sort!
And so, the prayer for this Sunday:
Thank you, Lord, for writing Your Name on me. Remind me that my ultimate value lies in belonging to You through faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ.
(taken from “Letters From Ruth’s Attic by Ruth Bell Graham)
Today I am linked with Sunday Stillness and Spiritual Sundays and The Sunday Community and Heart Reflected .
Dear Joanne
Yes, our names are already written in the palm of His hands!
Much love xx
The thought is mind blowing isn’t it? Wonderful thoughts this morning!
Thank-you for sharing the prayer– it’s good to always keep in mind that our value lies in belonging to the Lord. Have a blessed Sunday.
What a glorious thought! Beautiful to start my Sunday… Thank you!
Looking forward to the return of Christ. I’m keeping my heart tuned to His.
Beautiful thought and prayer!
Joanne, what a beautiful reminder that God will write His name on us. He already has us inscribed on the palms of His hands. Such assurance if we can just rest in it.
Blessings,
Janis
I have been living in Revelation for weeks and weeks now… again. The Lord puts me there every year for a long stretch. Then I’m reading other Books. But Revelation has become part of my heart and mind. So waiting for the final conclusion, results, nationally, internationally, universally. And trusting Him and Him alone for the consequences that we all will face. AND the worshiping, praising, rejoicing cover it over and over again. Thank you so much.
Thanks for linking to Sunday Stillness. I love that He writes on me His Name. Christ in me. Beautiful.
Blessings,
