Written in His Heart

Ute Park, Colorado Springs, Colorado

My gut tells me that it was "Ryan" who chiseled his and Alysia's names on this rock in Ute Park. Who knows how long it has been there. It looks like it has weathered a few winters.

It's quite possible that Alysia and Ryan broke up soon after they wrote their names or maybe they're married with children. Unless something dramatic happens, their names will remain in Ute Park for years.

"You are to put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod, stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, and Aaron will bear their names before the LORD on his two shoulders for a memorial." Exodus 28:12 New English Translation

Two onyx stones were engraved with the names of the sons of Israel. These stones were then attached to the shoulders of the ephod. God would remember the names of the children of Israel through the priest who wore the ephod. He could not forget his people. Their names were etched in stone.

What an amazing picture of God's love for his people. You are a child of God, only your name has not been written on stone it has been written on the heart of God. He will always remember you.

Israel faced some pretty tough days after God gave this command to Moses. There were days that they rebelled, days that they were attacked and days that they basked in the glory of God. God remembered his people.  God remembers you no matter what you're facing. Your name is written in his heart.
