Able to Forget?
One of the most precious gift God has given us is the ability to remember. There are plenty of hurts and disappointments in life that we should forget. But good memories become a treasure chest of priceless reminders of relationship shared and joys experienced.
Be like Paul in the Bible. His ability to remember his friends in Philippi brought him great comfort as he awaited trial in Rome, prompting him to joyfully pray for them. You could never have convinced him that comfort was found in being able to forget, because he rejoiced in being able to remember.
God gave us cherished memories. Cling to them when sorrows come. Never let today's burden erase yesterday's blessing.
Where is the heart that does not keep
Within its inmost store
Some fond remembrane hidden deep
Of days that are no more?
Phil 1:3
I thank my God everytime I remember you.
Give us the eyes of love
So we'll always see
The goodness in each other,
Secure us, Lord, in Thee.
