Dear Church Family, Have you ever felt forgotten or rejected? It’s painful to be rejected by others and to feel unworthy of their love. Sometimes we even feel that way by God. We worry that we’ve done something to hurt Him that cannot be forgiven, or we feel that we just don’t measure up. Maybe our circumstances make us feel like God has forgotten about us. As I was reading in Isaiah 49 today, God’s people make that claim.
Maybe you’ve felt that way before. Maybe you even feel that way right now. It’s in times like these that we need to run to God’s Word. His truth is the best antidote to combat our feelings. I love God’s answer in the very next verse:
God points to the faithfulness and compassion of a nursing mother. But even the best of mothers aren’t perfect, and there are mothers who do not live up to their calling. So God reminds them, even if a mother may forget, He will never forget them. In fact, He has engraved them on the palm of His hands. He has permanently made them His own. So today, don’t base your relationship with God on your performance (or lack of), your feelings, or your circumstances. Base them on His unchanging Word and Jesus’ finished work on the cross. God will not abandon you and cannot forget you.

We have the privilege of bringing our needs before the Lord and praising Him for who He is and what He has done for us.
