When you take a good look at how others treat you, how do you feel about it? Maybe you have the type of family or friends that only remember you on your birthday or anniversary. All year long they forget you, but on “special days” they call you with laughter and cheer acting like there is so much love shared between you. Then the moment that day finishes, it’s as if they lost your number again. 

I know this type of treatment hurts so deep that it’s unimaginable. It makes you feel like you are nobody. It feels like you are worse than an animal. 

But honestly, you should not feel that way, because though they may despise you and forget about you, God will never do the same. He remembers you every moment of every day. He says through His word,  

“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you. Isaiah 49:15

How beautiful are those words… “Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you.” Anyone else may forget. Anyone else may despise. Anyone else may even insult or degrade you. But God will remember you and is ready to help you through your difficulties the very moment that you call on Him. 

So when you have problems and feel overwhelmed, don’t go searching for human help, go straight to the One that remembers you. Go to God with everything you need, and you will never be let down. 

May the God of the Bible bless you
