Imagine a mother going through 9 months of growing, nourishing and creating a life, only to endure hours of hard labor. She used her own body as to create a life that is a piece of her and when that child is born, she has the mission to bring that child through the rest of his life. Despite how old that child may get, they will always be a child in their mother’s eyes. 

“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. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.” Isaiah 49:15-16 

Perhaps you have heard someone say this before, “God has forgotten about me.” Perhaps you were even that someone. You faced a situation in your health, finances or in your family. You were in a serious problem or are struggling with depression or addiction. You pray but it does’t seem that your prayers are answered. 

God never forgets His children. When we have a life with God, He takes care of His own. Just as a mother would never forget her child, God would never forget someone who completely surrendered their life into His hands. Babies are completely dependent on their parents. They rely on them for everything. Their entire world revolves around their parents. When we invest in that kind of relationship with our Heavenly Father we become His children. When we make Him our everything, He provides everything for us. 

Become a child of God. Surender your life to Him and you will never be forgotten.

May the God of the Bible bless you!
