THE 28th OF JUNE
EVEN IF A MOTHER CAN FORGET HER CHILD, GOD NEVER FORGETS US
“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
We all know that the normal bond between a mother and her nursing child is the strongest. God created it this way, so the mother may be able to raise the baby while the little one demands the mother’s help around the clock for everything.
There are so many mothers that went through so much for their children out of love. Father God is telling us that even if a mother may forget her child, He will not forget you or I. We are so blessed to be remembered by God.
The love of God for His chosen ones is more tender, perfect and unchangeable than a father’s love for his child and even than a mother’s love for her nursing baby! We have to remember that God’s love is not altered by living in a depraved world, as a parent’s love is. Usually God’s love is presented as a father’s love, but here it is raised to a higher standard and actually His love is greater than this one too. This is comforting, praise God!
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Dear Father, You are so loving and merciful. You knew how much I and so many other children of Yours, would need to know the greatness of Your love for us and what better comparison could be used but of a mother’s love for her nursing child? I am so blessed to know that You will never forget me and Your love is always there for me! I am Your creation, Your child and I have value in Your eyes and a special place in Your heart, as every human does. Thank You Lord so very much. Please help me never forget how much You love me and teach me how to walk in Your will, every day. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen
