God Won’t Forget

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you.”   Isaiah 49:15

The Bible promises that God will never forget you. This holds true even though others may have abandoned you. Perhaps your father left you before you were born; or, your mother abandoned you as a child. Perhaps the friends you have grew up with suddenly abandoned you for the popular crowd as soon as you entered high school. Regardless of how you were rejected, here are some questions that I would like for you to consider.

 Question 1: Because of past experiences of rejection, have you ever come to believe that God has abandoned you too, and that you’re not worth His time? Nothing can be more wrong! God, who has created you can’t stop thinking about you! His thoughts of you are more than the grains in the sand. (Psalm 139: 17-18)

Question 2: Do you believe that Jesus loves you and longs to be close to you; to heal your pain, to forgive and free you from sin, and to make you His child? It’s true! Draw close to Him and He will draw close to you. (James 4:8)

Prayer:
 Father God, thank you that you love me. Thank you that your love is perfect and nothing that I say or do can make you love me less. I pray that you will heal me of my pain from being rejected by others. Help me to forgive those who have hurt me. Help me to remember your word so when I’m tempted to doubt your goodness, I will have a firm foundation to stand on. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
