\nI will not forget you! Isaiah 49:15.<\/p>\n

<\/a>At her mother\u2019s 50th birthday celebration with hundreds of people present, firstborn daughter Kukua recounted what her mother had done for her. Kukua remembered times were hard and funds were scarce in the home. Kukua’s single mother deprived herself of personal comfort, selling her precious jewelry and other possessions in order to put Kukua through high school. With tears in her eyes, Kukua said that no matter how difficult things were, her mother never abandoned her or her siblings.<\/p>\n
God compares His love for His people with a mother\u2019s love for her child. The people of Israel felt abandoned by God during their exile. The Israelites complain, “The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.” Is. 49:14. The Lord replies, \u201cCan 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!\u201d Is. 49:15.<\/p>\n
Thank You, Lord, that I am Yours Forever.
\nWhen we are distressed or disillusioned, we may feel abandoned by society, family, and friends, but God does not abandon us. It is a great encouragement that the Lord says, “I have engraved you on the palms of my hands” (Is. 49:16) to indicate how much He knows and protects us. Even if people forsake us, God will never forsake His own. – Lawrence Darmani. Daily Bread.<\/p>\n
Thank You, Lord, that I am Yours forever. I\u2019m thankful that I won\u2019t have to walk through any experience alone.<\/p>\n
God never forgets us. Amen.<\/p>\n
