Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palm of my hands; your walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:15-16 God’s love for you is way more than a parents love.
