It’s true. Many of us know God’s presence is constant. How many times a week, day, hour or minute do we pray: “Hi, God, it’s me again!!!” By now, any of you who have read even a smidgen of my blog know many of my numerous conversations with God are as I walk my backyard lake path. Well, let me further inform you. “Hi, God, it’s me again” doesn’t exclusively resonate lake side. Praise, gratitude, need and fear permeate my entire life, not just my walks – so much so that of late I’ve been apologizing to God for barging in so frequently. To which I sensed God saying: “Hi, God, it’s me again” comes from My children who cannot live without Me. My heart is only heavy laden when hearing “Hello, God, do You remember me?” I am not the one who ever forgets a single soul I created. It is solely they who forget Me and feel, because of their absence, they must ask if I remember them.
Upon reflection, I could not help but wonder if “Hello, God, do You remember me” are not some of the saddest words God ever hears us, humans, utter.
God calls us, Christians, to bring EVERYTHING to Him – joy and praise for His powerful presence, sorrow and fear for our trials and tribulations, and gratitude and thanksgiving for all our given blessings. If we heed His summon, how can our words be less than “Hi, God, it’s me again”. Flip side, if ever we feel distant and need to ask God “do You remember me”, we should, also, wonder who moved away and failed to keep close in kinship?
This post is not to judge or preach. It solely wishes to awaken any soul who wonders does God remember me. Yes, God, always and forever, remembers you; and He only seeks that you don’t forget Him.
