Examine your hands!! Notice your uniquely designed fingerprints that were assigned as early as your first trimester in the womb! Individual fingers on each hand will include a distinctive pattern like no other in the whole history of creation, including identical twins! Therefore, there is a zero percent chance that anyone has, nor ever will, replicated your tailored-made identity.
In fact, your fingerprints may be even more rare than the billions of comparable humans. There are three largely categorized patterns that fingerprints are filed under including: Loops (60% occurrence that resembles rainbows), Whorls (about 35% of the population has circular or cyclone patterns), and Arches (a rare 5% of the population includes ocean-wave shapes).
After examining the graphs below, are you best described as a rainbow, cyclone, or ocean wave?
God, the creator of all creation, purposefully and wonderfully designed each of us to make a unique impact on this world. He knew exactly how to mold our clay structures to demonstrate his almighty handiwork into each designed and desired child of God. If he built such a small, yet largely identifiable construct as distinctive fingerprints, then surely he is committed to knowing our name.
Nothing happens by chance and nothing goes unnoticed. He knows our fears, our struggles, and he hears our cry. “Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.” -Matthew 10:30-32 God is infinite, yet personal; he is higher, yet present. We don’t know what tomorrow brings, but we know whose hands hold our tomorrow.
We are identifiable in his creation, formation, and redemption. The same one that created my name, created and carried a cross with my name on it. God will be uniquely and wonderfully identifiable by his nail-scarred hands in eternity. Will you recognize him? Praise the Lord; he knows my name!
