Overlooked

Sometimes, you may feel like you seem to fade into the background, where no one can  see you.

You think if you just do something great, say something snappy or even witty to get good attention, then people will see you. They will know you, know your name.

But life doesn’t work like that. People either like you, gravate to you, or maybe they just don’t.

Being overlooked is not anything anyone wants to be.

We all want to be seen.

We all want to be heard.

Silence can be deafening.

Silence can be painful and lonely.

If you are a child of God, you are blessed.

You are never alone or overlooked.

All of God’s children have a voice.

A voice that God gave to us so we can use it to call out from that lonely place for help for guidance for companionship.

God hears.

He answers.

He knows you.

He sees you.

He remembers his promise forever concerning you. Psalm 105 verse 8.

God says in the Bible, which is his word.

Behold I have graven you upon the palms of my hands. Isaiah 49 verse 16.

He remembers you.

He remembers his child and looks out for you like the father in the story of the prodigal son. God is prepared for you. Like that father,he can see you at a distance. And will have compassion and run to you with arms wide open.

He is waiting for you.

He cares when others don’t….

He will do the Same For You

Don’t be selfish.

When others move forward in health, finances, or lifestyle, rejoice with them for the same God who blessed them will bless you too.

Look at Job from the Bible. He received blessings after he prayed for his friends.

And the Lord turned the captivity of Job when prayed for his friends; also, the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42 verse 10.

I am learning just like you, my friend, to wait and trust God. He has not forgotten you. It is just not your time, not yet, but soon.

God’s Promises: You will be remembered.

When the cold, dank scene of aloneness is the only place found where you head can rest; it is time to call upon the Lord.

Yet To Be # 165

Remembrance is a precious gift of honoring those loved, respected, cherished, or merely liked.
It is the act of looking back and preserving moments, words spoken, and actions taken.
The bitter sting of loneliness sets in when you are lost within a crowded sphere.
Your deeds are not mentioned.
Even your existence seems to be wiped clean from the memory of friends.
When the cold, dank scene of aloneness is the only place found where your head can rest.
It is time to call upon the Lord.
The One who forgives sins and wipes away all tears from your eyes.
The One who gives comfort to the brokenhearted, healing to the disparaged soul, brings cheer to the sorrowing,
And yet all the while promising never to leave or forsake you.
His love is real because He can never forget to remember.

“I formed you; you are my servant…you shall not be forgotten of me.” Isaiah 44:21
