Even if your mother forgets you, I will never forget you.

Isaiah 49:15

“Can  a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should not have compassion  on the son of her womb?
Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget  you!
The  Bible tells us in 1 John 4:16 that God    is love.  He is the complete  expression of every possible type of  love.  A   father’s love, a  friend’s love, the love of a bridegroom,  etc., for 1    John 4 says that  all love comes from God. In today’s  promise, we see  a   feminine  expression of the love of God.

In  this verse, God  is posing a  question… Can a mother   forget the baby  at her breast? Is it  possible for her to not have   compassion on the  child that she  has  birthed? God goes onto say, even if   she forgets  you, I will not   forget you! The following verse in Isaiah   49:16  continues as God   tells us that He has engraved us on the palms of   His  hands.

What   a promise that we have! No matter what happens   in  this life, no   matter what form of rejection we receive… even from    our parents,   God will not reject us! He will never forget us because  He   loves us   with a father’s love and He loves us with a mother’s love   too!

May   the love of God overwhelm us today with every love   that we need. A   father’s love, a mother’s love, the love of a friend,   the love of a    Savior… May we learn to live in this love (1 John 4:16)   more and   more  for the rest of our lives.
