Forget

"He who receives a benefit should never forget it" (Pierre Charron).

It's easy to forget...that God is with us when we feel the uncertainty of our future.

It's easy to forget...that God is not confined to time and space and is already ahead of us in our unknown.

It's easy to forget...that God's love and mercy is broader, deeper, and higher than our failings.

It's easy to forget...that God's love and mercy is broader, deeper, and higher than the failings of others.

It's easy to forget...that it is Christ who makes us acceptable to God, not ourselves.

It's easy to forget...that God's work of salvation in our lives is for more than just ourselves.

It's easy to forget...that the Kingdom of God is here and now and is not confined to some future occurance.

It's easy to forget...that my life is not God's only great concern and I am not the center of His universe.

It's easy to forget...that love is the identifying mark of a Christian.

It's easy to forget...that my ways and thoughts are not His ways and thoughts.

It's easy to forget...that men and women are not my enemy.

It's easy to forget...that this isn't just my journey; it is ours.

It's easy to forget...that God is the Superior Being; I am not.

It's easy to forget...that we are called to serve, not be served.

It's easy to forget...
