Ang sagot ni Yahweh, “Malilimot kaya ng ina ang sarili nyang anak? Hindi kaya niya mahalin ang sanggol niyang iniluwal? Kung mayroon mang inang lumilimot sa kanyang anak, hindi ko kayo kakalimutan kahit sandali. Jerusalem, hinding-hindi kita malilimutan. Pangalan mo’y nakaukit sa aking mga palad.”

Isaias 49:15-16

Hindi ba nakakatuwa kapag may casual friend kang biglang nag-chat sa iyo at genuinely na nangungumusta? Hindi ba ang sarap din ng feeling na makatanggap ng pasalubong mula sa iyong kapamilya o kaibigan? You feel appreciated because someone remembered you. It’s important for us na maalala ng mga mahal natin sa buhay, whether in a simple or grand way, because it means we are being valued and cared for. Kaya napakasakit naman kapag kabaligtaran nito ang na-experience natin—ang makalimutan.

Isaiah 49 was written by the prophet Isaiah at a time when Babylon conquered Israel. The Israelites were then exiled to Babylon and they experienced hardship under this nation. Kaya naman the Israelites thought  na tinalikuran at kinalimutan na sila ng Diyos. But God said, even if a mother should forget her own child, God will never forget Israel. God has written the name of Israel in God’s palms. (v.16). This is a symbol of God’s great love and care for them as Father and Creator.

Pero hindi lang Israel ang minamahal at inaalagaan ni God as Father and Creator. Ikaw din. Don’t ever think na kinalimutan ka na ng Diyos. Ang sinumang sumampalataya sa Anak ng Diyos na si Jesus ay binigyan ng Diyos ng right na maging anak Niya (Juan 1:12). At kung anak na Niya, hinding-hindi Niya iiwan at tatalikuran (Mga Hebreo 13:5). God is good and faithful to His children all the time. If you want to be a child of God and experience the loving care of God the Father, let’s pray.
