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….

An Everlasting Love

God’s love is greater than my understanding. Why he loves me is unbelievable. Before the world began, he loved me with an eternal, undying love.

Who am I that he should favor me?

Who am I that he sees me and cares for me with unmerited affection?

I am nothing before the Creator before the Lord of life, and yet he could condescending to think of me.

I love him because he first loved me.

Isaiah 43 verse 4

Since you were precious in my sight… I have loved you.

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge; he putters down one and setters up another. Psalm 75 verses 6 and 7.

God is in control and will not give his power to another.

When things are going well, we have that notion to believe it is all by our own strength. But God gives the strength and clears the way on our path.

We can trust him. Because He does know the way through this wilderness we call life.

A Prayer of Remembrance.

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwells. So Oh my God and Father, remember me for good because thy words were sweet and I ate them and they were a source of joy and rejoicing to my heart. Therefore, as in thy word, I will always be remembered by thee.

( adapted from Psalm 26, Jeremiah 15 verse 16 and Nehemiah 13 verse 31)
