Unforgettable!
"I have formed you, you are My servant;
O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me!"
Isaiah 44: 21
In her memoirs,
missionary Ella Marie Holmes
wrote of a student, Imogini, who battled an eye
infection caused by ingrown eyelashes.
The girl was going to Calcutta to see a doctor
about her condition. One night, Ella
took Imogini
on a walk and she began crying. Ella thought it
was because she was afraid to travel to
Calcutta.
“No, no,” said the girl. “I am thinking how good
God is! For a year I sat in the house and never
hoped to go about again…. Now, I am visiting,
hearing the voice of friends…and I am to go
to Calcutta.
"I thought God had forgotten
me and just
see what good things He has done for me!
I know now God was planning these good
things for me all the time I supposed He
had forgotten all about me!”
Sometimes we feel God has forgotten us,
especially when particular prayers remain
unanswered. But you are
unforgettable to
Him. He's still listening and planning good
things for you. Be encouraged!
"It is usually strange answers to
prayer that hide the deepest, best,
and most beautiful purposes."
