211.30: Isaiah 46-49: Does Jesus Have YOUR Name Written in the Palm of His Hand?

<p>Have you ever looked back at your life and &nbsp;thought, “What if?”. You usually think about those forks-in-the-road &nbsp;where you made a life-changing decision. What if you took the other &nbsp;road? I have 2 of those that I think are significant. The first one was &nbsp;when I was in 3rd grade. My parents told me to decide if I wanted to &nbsp;take piano or dance lessons. They couldn’t afford both. I chose piano. &nbsp;What if I had chosen dance? I think I’d be a choreographer on Broadway &nbsp;or something like that. I’d also be skinny! The other big decision in my &nbsp;life happened soon after college at age 21. My parents were selling our &nbsp;house in NY and moving back to Puerto Rico. I had just gotten accepted &nbsp;in to the management training program at K-Mart and assigned to a store &nbsp;in New Jersey. I had to choose between beaches and palm trees or K-Mart &nbsp;in the snow. Guess which I chose. Had I stayed up north, I probably &nbsp;would have gotten my Masters Degree in communication and ended up an &nbsp;advertising executive on Madison Ave.</p> <p>What has this got to do with today’s lesson? Well, in these next &nbsp;chapters, God laments to Israel, “Oh, had you listened to my commands!” &nbsp;Which brings up another “What if?” question for me. What if, when a &nbsp;friend of mine told me that she — who was also raised Catholic — had &nbsp;become <a href="https://giselleaguiar.com/2020/06/22/truth-what-does-being-born-again-to-be-saved-really-mean/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">born again</a>, &nbsp;I had asked her about it? I may not have been a prodigal for so many &nbsp;years, as far from God as I could get. (Check out my testimony at the &nbsp;bottom.)</p> <p>God has a lot to tell us in these next chapters. Let’s dig in…</p> <p><a href="https://giselleaguiar.com/2021/11/30/isaiah-46-48-does-jesus-have-your-name-written-in-the-palm-of-his-hand/" target="_blank"><em><strong>Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper and watch the special music video at t
