Never Happened...

NEVER HAPPENED…While God can do anything, there are some things that He won’t do. One thing He won’t do is remember our sins against us, once they’ve been forgiven. He just won’t do it. And there is also something that He will never forget about…us!
“Can a woman forget her nursing child…yet I will not forget you.” ~Isaiah 49:15
It’s a common human emotion, to feel like God has gone off and forgotten us. When prayers go unanswered, when needs go unmet, when favor ceases to flow, its easy to surmise that God has forgotten about us. Actually all of the above have some very good reasons for occurring other than God turning His back on us. But the feeling comes anyway. Its interesting to me that God likens His remembrance of us to the way a young mother pays attention to her newborn child. We have all witnessed a young mother gazing into the face of her infant like there is nothing else going on in the universe. It is truly the greatest example closeness we can view on this earth. The nursing child drawing its very life from its mother…and the mother lost in every expression of her young child’s face. That picture right there is what God wants us to know about His attentiveness of us. That’s pretty attentive. In fact, the verse goes on to say that the mothers of earth could more easily forget about the nursing infants than God could ever forget about you and me. Wow! God forget about you?...That’s just NEVER HAPPENED! ~verlon
