Devotional
The miracle at Cana reveals something beautiful about God’s character—He cares about our joy, not just our survival. Jesus didn’t just provide wine; He provided the best wine, saving it for last. This wasn’t about necessity but about celebration, showing us that God delights in our happiness. The love demonstrated here surpasses even the fierce love of a mother. While a mother’s love is powerful and enduring, God’s love exceeds it infinitely. He has engraved our names on His palms, promising never to forget us. When you feel forgotten, overlooked, or unloved, remember that the God who turned water into wine at a wedding celebration has your name permanently etched in His hands. His love for you is personal, permanent, and beyond anything you can imagine.
Bible Verse
‘”Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.”‘ – Isaiah 49:15-16
