Wow!!! You have actually cut my name into the flesh of the palm of your hand. Not like writing my name in pen like I might do to jog my memory. I do that sometimes with something that I want to remember. OH NO!!! That is not good enough. You love me so much that my name is cut into your very flesh! Wow!!! That is hard for me to wrap my mind around!!!
The nails in your hands were part of the cutting. The gashes in your back, the puncture wounds on your head, feet and hands had my name in them.
I don’t understand why YOU would do that for me but I am more grateful that I can ever tell YOU. Tears of gratitude and wonder are streaming down my face as I type.
Who are YOU to have that kind of love and commitment to me? I want more!!! I want to know more, much more. Not in my head but down in my heart.
More thoughts:
The hand is the or one of the most sensitive parts of the body. It has the most neurons and the most feeling centers. The palm, inside of the hand, is more sensitive to touch than the back of the hand.
The palm is more protected than the back of the hand. If you slightly curl your fingers, the palm makes a little cup of protection. You protect me in the palm of your hand. Wow!
The hand is the part of the body that you see the most. That is why I write notes to myself on my palm.
