  • God will not forget

    Now I know what it's really like to GIVE myself for another.  When Jesus calls us to lay down our lives, I always accepted it in the spiritual sense.  Now I know what it means to do it in the physical sense.  My body feels so wrecked.  And yet what mom would hesitate to give the very best to her child?  Though my sleep cycle is being dictated by my baby's eating cycle and though breastfeeding causes me to wince in pain, it would take something tremendous before I would give this up.  I will keep pushing and persevering though every part of my body aches in pain.

    Isaiah 49:15 has new meaning to me as well --
    The Lord says, "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!"

    A mother WILL NOT forget.  How much more so will God NEVER forget us??

    Not to neglect the depth of a father's love --
    Psalm 27:10, "Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me."

    Fathers and mothers do not forsake their children.  How much more so will the Lord never forsake us?

    I'm understanding a new depth to God's love.  How vast and deep is His love! --
