“I Will Remember You” is a pop-rock song by Sarah McLachlan. It’s about a girl wondering if some past love still remembers her. How many middle-age people have those thoughts? Maybe to them, it’s just a horrible memory they wish would just go away.
Now the one who does have a good memory is God. Thankfully, He is willing to erase those actions and thoughts that are contrary to His holiness, if we but ask.
Then He adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
Here are some things we shouldn’t forget:
- He remembered Noah and blessed him.
- He remembered the Israelites in bondage and sent a deliverer to them.
- He remembered Jonah and delivered him.
- He always remembered His people and heard and responded to their cries.
- He remembered us by sending His only begotten Son to save us.
- He remembers, now, His new covenant, made through the blood of His Son on the cross. This is a covenant in which He promises to forgive and cleanse us continually by His grace.
- He remembers that Christ assured His followers that they would rise at the moment of death to a place in glory prepared by Him.
- And, He will remember to return and take us to Himself.
Give it some thought.
