“How precious to me are
your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them they
would outnumber the grains of sand. When I am away I am still with you” (Psalm
139:17-18 NIV).
Are you feeling as if you
have been forgotten by God? Be assured that God is still there for you and
loves you tremendously. When I was in high school and college I had to rely a
lot on other people to drive me places. We only had one car and my dad or mom
always had it for work. There were many instances when someone was suppose to
pick me and had forgotten me. Every time I was forgotten I felt like I must not
be worth anything or people would remember to pick me up. It was a blow to my
self-esteem every time it happened. To be forgotten can be heart breaking.
I know there are those of
you reading this that have felt or are feeling forgotten, as if nobody cares
about you. Please know that God does care for you and about your life. You are
worth so much to Him and He wants you to know this. After all He knew when you
were formed: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my
mother’s womb. I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I
know full well” (Psalm 139: 13-14 NIV). After all Jesus said that the very
hairs of your head are numbered. (Matthew 10:30)
You have a purpose that
only you can achieve. You have special abilities that were given you at birth.
Pray and ask God how they can be used to glorify His name. Never feel like you
are forgotten. You are a child of the King, an heir to the Kingdom of God.
“The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now
if we are children, then we are heirs-- heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,
if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his
glory” (Romans 8:16-17 NIV).
Dear Lord,
Help us to always know
that we are special in your eyes, even when we feel we are not. You love us and
have a plan for us. Help us to always remember that we are your children and
very precious.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
