Still Their Mama - You Didn’t Disappear

Still Their Mama - Day 4

You Didn’t Disappear

“See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.”

— Isaiah 49:16 (NIV)

Devotional:

You didn’t disappear.

Even if they unfollowed you.

Even if they stopped replying.

Even if you haven’t seen their face in years…

You are still written on the palms of the One who made you.

They may not speak your name,

but heaven still does.

When you held their tiny fingers.

When you cried into your pillow at night.

When you sat in courtrooms. Or stood at caskets. Or waited in hospital rooms alone…

You never stopped being a mother.

You didn’t lose your identity because they walked away…

and you didn’t lose your value because someone else didn’t see it.

God saw every moment.

And He still sees you now…

standing in the silence, holding space, carrying prayers like folded-up notes in the lining of your heart.

Your love wasn’t erased.

It was engraved.

Not in memory, but in eternity.

So when your name feels forgotten…

when Mother’s Day passes and no one calls…

when holidays come and go with no message, no knock, no apology…

Remember this: You are engraved in the hands that carried the cross.

And you don’t have to disappear to matter.

Prayer:

God, I feel invisible sometimes.

Like I don’t belong in their world anymore.

Like my love doesn’t count, because it’s not returned.

But You engraved me.

You never erased me.

You still call me Yours.

So I lay down my fear of being forgotten.

Hold my name when no one else says it.

Wrap Your hands around this aching heart.

Because I am still their mama.

And You are still my God.

Amen.

You are still their mama, and God is still holding both of you.

Carry this truth with you today:

Love endures, God protects, and restoration is never beyond His reach.
