God Has Not Forgotten YOU

From day to day we face so many different situations that sometime leave us feeling like things just will not get any better. You might even feel like giving up or hopeless that change will ever come to you. You might have even cried out, " God, where are you?" You might have even asked God, "When will it ever be my turn to be blessed?" Maybe you are the one that has made a decision to wait on God and you have been watching all of your friends get married before you, trust me, "God has not forgotten YOU. Maybe you are the one that has been struggling over finances and seems like the bills are overwhelming you and you need a miracle, "God has not forgotten you". I know that you have had some rough days and through your eyes, you just cannot see a way of escape but just know that,"God has not forgotten you". The bible says in Isaiah 49:14-16, 14). But Zion said, "The Lord has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me". 15). 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. 16). "See I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me". This is a promise from God that he will not forget YOU. He will never forget about you, because you belong to him, you are his. He has you written in the palm of his hands. Psalms 139:17-18 says, 17). "How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18) "If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake I am still with you". Please know my dear friends that you are thought about by God and because he is thinking of you, there is no way he could ever forget about you. You might feel like everything in your world is all turned upside down and inside out and there seems to be darkness all around you but please just trust me when I tell you that he is with you. The bible says in psalms 137: 7-8 7)."Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? 8). If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Hell behold, you are there". So, please know that even in the dark places that God is there with you and, "He has not forgotten you". No matter what it looks like today, I pray that tomorrow will begin a new day for you in every area of your life. I pray that you will wake up with new vision for your life. I pray that you will know that God is with you and he has not forgotten you. I pray that the very presence of the Lord will be upon you in such a powerful way that you will know that you are never alone. Thank you God for newness of life. Thank you God for a new way of living. Thank you God for new courage and the grace to walk in that courage. God thank you for your grace and mercy that follows your children. Amen
Lift up your heads O ye gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Psalms 24:7 Lift your heads up my friends and know that, "God has not forgotten YOU".
