FORGET

When Katie was in labor she was walking around in pain.  I’m sure that many of you can remember that feeling.  She didn’t want to be a baby and receive her epidural too soon.  While we were visiting I told her, “In a week after all of this is over and you are holding that precious bundle you won’t remember the pain.  That part will be forgotten.”

Forgotten, do you sometimes feel forgotten?  It is good sometimes to not remember, but something’s are hard to forget.  Just as in Katie’s situation it is wonderful to fail to recall all the events of birth, but other things we shouldn’t inadvertently neglect to remember. 

When you feel forgotten remember God remembers you.  God won’t overlook you, neglect you or forget you.  My mind goes to the picture of the sparrows lined up on the line.  God doesn’t forget even one tiny sparrow.  (Luke 12:6 NIV Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet God forgets not one of them.)  All of God’s creations are valuable to Him.  He has made us to complete His will on this earth, so of course He isn’t going to forget us. 

God is on the job 24/7.  Even if we feel he has forgotten He hasn’t.  God intervenes as we yield to Him and at His timing.  We must stay focused through the process while He does His work. 

Don’t worry, just as God see’s all the little birds, all creatures’ great and small, He is watching you.  He is on the job all day and night.  He has an everlasting love that lasts a lifetime.  He never forgets you.
