CAN A MOTHER FORGET HER CHILD?
"Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you!”. (NLT) Isaiah 49: 15
We live in a world drenched in so much evil. As a result of this, we tend to lose the effect of this scripture in our lives. Naturally, no mother will forget her newly born baby according to the principles of God. However, due to the amount of evil we experience daily, we see that it is possible that our mothers can forget us.
We as children also forget our parents so it’s a bit rational these days to see mothers dump their babies with no remorse (based on today’s worldly standards of love). This condition has poisoned many of us, of God’s love for us. When scripture uses this analogy of mothers to describe God’s love for us, we tend to devalue it as a result of the diminishing values we place on motherly love.
Dearly beloved in Christ, kindly take your mind from this devalued worldly standard and take a good look at your life so far. How have you survived from infancy up to your current age now? Did your mother have a part to play? Yes!!! . Right from conception and so much more is GOD!!
In Psalm 139: 13, Bible says God knitted us together in our mother’s womb. So even if our mum decides to forgets us (and some do), remember God will not because he made all the delicate, inner parts in us.
No matter your situation dear brother or sister, God has not forgotten you. It may look like he has abandoned you because he decides to be a bit silent in your live but He isn’t. He has better plans for you (Jeremiah 29:11). If you would only wait a little longer, you will see his glory and his victorious right hand lifted in your life.
In Isaiah 62: 3-4, a perfect example of our end as Christians is given in the case of Jerusalem. God says He will hold us for all to see, our names will be changed from Forsaken city to the city of God’s Delights. Beloved, we serve a covenant keeping God, so it beholds on us to trust in this covenant made with Him. The change of time, seasons and years may define it to be long but God sees it to be short and that’s what matters my friends!!!
Can a mother forget her child? God doesn’t forget his children, so He won’t forget you my dear!!!
