Don't Forget Me for I Haven't Forgotten You

"Don't forget me for I haven't forgotten you." The words echoed through my mind. As I sat on the floor in my bedroom, tears began to run down my face. The realization of the love of God came to me in that little moment. He has done so much for us. He took the cross with us in mind, yet we can't spend one little moment with him. He knows us all so well but what do we know of him?

When God spoke these words to me I realized just how rejected God is. He wasn't just rejected when he was beaten, spit on, and hung to die on the cross. He is rejected daily. You may ask how. Well, how many times have we just gone about our day when we felt that small tug on our hearts? How many times has God wanted to spend time with us but we have ignored his voice? This is how we have rejected him. We have rejected him and asked him to leave our schools. We have asked him to leave our government. We have asked him to leave our lives. We have asked him to step back and let us have control. 

One question I have to ask is, "What has being in control ever done?" It has done nothing but mess up everything. When Cain took things in his own hands thinking that he had a right to be angry, he killed his brother. When Abraham's wife told him to have a child with her handmaid that way they could have their promise child, doubting God, it left them with anger and strife between the family. We are terrible at controlling things. Why not just let God have control? Why not just surrender your life to him and let him work it all out? Don't forget what he has already done. He hasn't forgotten those moments. He hasn't forgotten you. He loves you. Will you still love him or will you just go on about your day ignoring him? He has been calling you but you have been shutting him out. He's screaming out today, saying, "DON'T FORGET ME FOR I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU!" I can see the tears streaming down his face as just another person walks away from him and says, "I've got other things to do." 

God is everything. He is the one that gives each and everyone of us breath. He gives us everything that we have need of. The question I have is, "Will you remember him in your day or will you forget him and walk away?"
