God Remembers

By
"Go and announce directly to Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says: I remember the loyalty of your youth, your love as a bride— how you followed Me in the wilderness, in a land not sown." Jeremiah 2:2
God remembers

Even when our hearts grow cold toward God and our devotion to Him weakens, His love remains steadfast. We may forget God, but He remembers us.

God was concerned because the people of Judah had allowed their hearts to drift far from Him. In a powerful moment, God shared His heart with His people, recalling what it was like when they first began loving Him. He remembered how they had loved Him, as a new bride loves her husband, with excitement and enthusiasm for the future. He recalled the kindness they had expressed as they willingly followed Him wherever He led them. God reminded them of the love they had once had for Him, so that the memory might rekindle feelings of devotion and their hearts might return to Him.

If you do not guard our heart, you will grow cold in your love for Christ. A time may come when He approaches you and reminds you what your relationship was once like. Do you recollect the joy that permeated your life when you first became a Christian? Do you recall the youthful commitments you made to Him, pledging to do anything He told you to do? Do you remember the thrill you experienced each time you came to understand a new dimension of His nature? Spiritual memory is important. You may not realize how far you have drifted from God until you contrast the love you are expressing to Him now with that of earlier days.

God has not changed. He is the same Person you gave your heart to when you became a Christian (Mal. 3:6–7). If your love for God is not as intense as it once was, return to Him. He will restore the intimate fellowship you once shared with Him.

ENGLISH LYRICS: O weary heart, there is a home But He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be save. Matt.24:13 1.  O weary heart, there is a home, Beyond the reach of toil and care, A home where changes never come: Who would not fain be resting there? Chorus: Oh wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! Oh wait, meekly wait, and murmur not, Oh wait, oh wait, oh wait, and murmur not! 2. Yet when bowed down beneath the load By heaven allowed, thine earthly lot; Look up! Thou' it reach that blest abode Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! 3. If in thy path some thorns are found, Oh, think who bore them on His brow,' If grief thy sorrow heart has found, It reached a holier than thou. 4. Toil on! Nor deem, though sore it be, One sigh unheard, one pray'r forgot; The day of rest will dawn for thee Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! Amen.
