Palm of the hand. Kaph. Engraved on the palms of My hands. Before there was a cross this image pointed to it. Jesus carries the marks of our salvation in His hands.

Heart, inner man. Lebab. Unite my heart to fear Your name. The undivided heart wholly focused on God is the heart He can use most powerfully.

To lift up, to bear, to forgive. Nasa. God lifts the weight of guilt. He carries what we cannot carry.

Life, soul, living being. Nephesh. The animating breath God places in every living creature. In animals it is the life force. In humanity it is the seat of emotion, will and identity. Every nephesh belongs to God — from the creatures in the sea to the deepest cry of the human heart.

To swear, to take an oath. Shaba. God swore by Himself because there is none greater. His promises are backed by His own eternal nature.
