These beautiful flowers called Forget Me Nots are growing in my garden. Forget Me Not flowers symbolize remembrance.To me, they remind me of how God has promised never to forget us.
We are always on God’s mind.
Psalm 139:17-18 says “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I am awake, I am still with you.” God’s thoughts towards us are too many to be counted.
Isaiah 49:15 says, 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”
I nursed all four of my children. For a large proportion of their early life I nursed them, sustained them and met their every need. It was impossible for me to forget about a tiny, hungry, needy baby. Such is a mother’s instinct and love. Yet God is saying surely some mothers may forget their children (unlikely but possible) but God will never forget about us. Yes, sometimes we’re loud and needy but God will never turn us away. He is compassionate. God’s divine remembrance to us is even more tender than a mother’s love and He is ever mindful of us.
Sometimes when we are going through things, we are tempted to think that God has forgotten about us. That is not the case at all.
Isaiah 49:16 says “See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands”
Your hands are always in your view. We wear rings on our fingers, often as a symbol of affection, promise etc and the right hand in the Bible, is a symbol of strength.
God is saying how often He thinks about us.
Furthermore, in John 20:20 the risen Jesus showed the disciples His hands which had been pierced by the nails of the cross-showing the sacrifice He made for us.
2 Timothy 2:13 says “if we are faithless, He remains faithful ;He cannot deny Himself.”
It is not in God’s nature to be faithless. He is a faithful God. And He will not forget you.
