I
have a poor memory for some things. There is no getting around it.
I finally came to the conclusion when, on several occasions, what someone else
recalled I had said was proved to be true. To that point I fought the accusation
because I couldn't remember saying what I said! That's the big problem with
a flawed memory, you don't know you have it.
Since coming
to grips with my shortcoming, I have tried to be more careful about what I say.
For instance, I try hard not to make promises that I haven't thoroughly thought
out. I also use a calendar a lot and notes as well, however sometimes I forget
to look at the calendar and I lose my notes.
My greatest
concern is with my children. I don't want to promise them something I won't
or can't fulfill. I would much rather disappoint an adult, who may understand
my memory lapse, than one of my kids.
As a child of God
I am especially thankful that the Heavenly Father has a perfect memory.
Can you imagine the chaos if God were to somehow forget to have the Sun rise or
even allow the Moon to stray from its path for even a few moments? Thankfully,
God doesn't forget!
The most important promise in the
Scriptures is referred to in 1
John 2:25. "This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal
life." John
3:16 says that you only have to "believe" in Jesus, God's only Son to
have eternal life. Have you?
Is His promise to you? He won't forget it or you if you have trusted Him!
