God Still Remembers
"To the One who remembered us in our low estate, His love endures forever," (Psalm 136:23)I have a bad memory. I simply can't remember things the way I used to. Oftentimes, I group things in threes to help me remember. Sometimes, it works. Other times, I still forget.At church tonight, we sang, "So remember your people, remember your children, remember your promise, O God." Then and there, I thanked God for remembering. When I was yet a sinner, when I was yet forgettable, God remembered me. I was helpless and could not on my own stand before a Holy God. I could do nothing to save myself or to earn His love. Yet he remembered me. He saw my sinfulness, my need for a Savior. He sent Jesus - his one and only perfect Son - to die and bring me forever unto Him. God remembered me. More than two thousand years later, God continues to remember me. His thoughts toward me outnumber the grains of sand (Psalm 139:17-18). He doesn't forget me. Instead, he's continually thinking about me. My pain, my sadness, my fear. He keeps me in His memory.He is also moved to help me, just as He was moved to save me. When pain overpowers me, God remembers me with His strength. When sadness plagues me, God remembers me with His joy. When fear overwhelms me, God remembers me with His peace. God remembers me with love.Sometimes, I don't have much to offer. No strength. No joy. No peace. Other times, I myself want to forget. God still remembers. Sometimes, family and friends forget. No calls. No letters. No visits. But God still remembers. He continues thinking. He continues loving. He continues saving.My low estate. My brokenness. My forgetfulness. Thank God, He still remembers.Prayer: Father, thank you for remembering me on the cross, and thank you for remembering me in my pain. Help me not to forget that you always remember. Amen.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Daphne is a thirty-something freelance writer and speaker who comforts others with the comfort she herself has received from God (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
