Remember

It seems as if lately God has been calling me to remember Him…and it’s sad how often I really do need the reminder he places on my heart.  I think this forgetfulness is something a lot of us struggle with, and so I share the reminders I have needed over the years with the hope that anyone willing to read finds the reminder they might need tonight:

“Remember my love.” Romans 8: 38-39, 1 John 4:9-10
 God’s love exists without condition, without exception, and without end.

“Remember my grace.” Romans 3:23-24, John 1:16
 We make mistakes, but God (thankfully) welcomes us home with open arms time and time again.

“Remember me before you stumble.” Psalm 37:24
 He may catch you, or He may use that to raise you higher than before. Either way, He is good.

“Remember my presence.” Acts 17:27-28, Psalm 23:4
 Even when He seems distant, He is closer than you know.  Our King is ever-present.

“Remember my pursuit of your heart.” Psalm 23:5-6
 God wants your whole heart, brokenness and all.  He wants you.

“Remember my promises and hold tight to them.” Hebrews 10:23
 In the mountain-top moments and the deepest valleys.

 His plan for your life is good and pleasing and perfect, and it has been designed for you and you alone.

“Remember my sovereignty.” Colossians 1:15-17, Psalm 33:6-9
 When life gets messy (and it will), God is in control.

“Remember my goodness.” James 1:17, Psalm 119:68
 There is no good thing apart from Jesus, and in Him goodness can be found in every situation.

“Remember my sacrifice.” Romans 8:1-4
 Jesus left a perfect home to come humbly into a broken and hopeless world to pay the debt of our sin and make us children of God and co-heirs with Christ.

“Remember my strength.” Philippians 4:13, Isaiah 40:29-31
 When you are weak, He is strong.  When you are strong, He is stronger still.

“Remember that I am for you.” Psalm 16:8, Psalm 68:19
 Every step you take, He takes with you.  Cheering you on, lifting you up, carrying you through every day and watching over you every night.

“Remember my peace.” John 14:27
 A peace that is available in all moments and all seasons of life that cannot be taken from you by this world.

“Remember me…” Isaiah 48:12
 He is the Almighty God.  The great I Am.  He is unchanging, never-failing, ever-present, and so much more.
