YOU ARE MINE

📖 Bible Verse:

“See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands.” — Isaiah 49:16 (NLT)

🕊️ Story / Reflection:

Have you ever written something important on your hand so you wouldn’t forget it?
Maybe a name, a reminder, or a note for school. God says He has done something like that — but even more special!
He has written your name on the palms of His hands.
That means He always remembers you.
He loves you so much that you are always in His heart and thoughts.
You belong to Him, and nothing can make Him forget or stop loving you. When you feel lonely or afraid, remember:
God looks at His hands, sees your name, and smiles — because you are His.

💡 Lesson:

I am never forgotten. God knows me, loves me, and calls me His own.

🙏 Prayer:

Dear God,

Thank You for loving me so much that You have written my name on Your hands.

Help me to remember that I belong to You, always and forever.

Amen.

🎨 Activity (Ages 3–6):

Draw a hand and write your name inside it. Then write “God loves me” around it.

✏️ Reflection (Ages 7–9):

What does it mean to you that God knows your name? Write one sentence to tell Him how that makes you feel.

🕯️ Challenge (Ages 10–12):

Take time today to thank God for knowing you personally. Write or say, “Lord, I belong to You.”

🌸 Closing Thought:

You are special to God — loved, known, and never forgotten.

He holds you close because you are His forever.
