Child’s handprint in clay representing the indelible imprint of God’s love

The Indelible Imprint

As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us—eternal life. 1 John 2:24-25 The indelible imprint of faith begins early and stays with us forever.

Indelible Imprinted Lessons That Last

At our duck camp, we’ve observed a fascinating phenomenon: imprinting. When we feed ducks one season, they return the next. People are much the same. The truths we hear early in life shape us deeply:

  • Tell the truth
  • Don’t take what isn’t yours
  • Say “I’m sorry” when you’re wrong
  • Eat food that’s good for you (even if you don’t like it)
  • Take a bath (especially boys!)
  • Sing the old church hymns by heart

Among the most lasting imprints are the songs we learned as children. They stay with us and surface in moments of reflection, joy, or trial.

Sealed Forever in Christ – indelible imprints

These simple truths remind us that no matter our age, Jesus loves us. When we accepted Him, our names were imprinted in the Lamb’s Book of Life. His love is etched on our hearts—unchanging and eternal. “Jesus, I belong to You.” That is the imprint that lasts forever. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7

Let Us Pray

Father, thank You for writing Your truth on our hearts. Let our lives reflect the eternal imprint of Your love and grace. Amen.
