Isaiah 49:15-16 "Can a women forget her nursing child, and have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. Behold I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands..." Just before this passage Israel is saying that God will forget them, and this is the assurance he give them. It's become more personal to me now that I have children. I was trying to portray here the tenderness between mother and child. God's feelings towards us surpass this tender relationship. The mother and child are placed in 'God's hands' to remind us that we are not alone, he is thinking of us. Over and over again in Isaiah it talks about the imagry of God holding our hand, being with us...
