I Will Never Forget You

Dear Friend,
How are you today? 

One morning in 2019 in California, when I spent a winter break with mom in my sister’s place there, I prayed alone in a dressing room.  In the middle of the prayer, I felt Him touching my face with His very big and warm hand. I felt Him saying “Even if your mom forgets you, I will never forget you. Your name is carved on the palms of My hands.” Then, I was reminded of the verses in Isaiah. Immediately, I opened my eyes and grabbed my Bible. I couldn't remember in which chapter or verse it was written at all. But when I just opened the book of Isaiah, I couldn’t help dropping tears. I just opened the very page where the verses from Isaiah 49:15 onwards exactly showed the Words I had just heard. And I felt it was really Him who touched my face with the very big and warm hand. And when I read further to verse 17, “Your destroyers and those who laid you waste shall go away from you.”, I just cried, assured that He would set me free and bring breakthrough and the enemies wouldn’t destroy me. I felt it was His confirmation earlier that year that He would set me free.
 
Then, later in the afternoon, I searched for a Korean pastor’s sermons online for mom and was amazed when his sermon “I will never forget you” popped up in the list. I was curious as to whether it was the message from Isaiah 49 and got to know it was. I felt Him repeating His message to me. When I listened to that sermon, I was also encouraged to keep Him in my mind every moment, just as He inscribed me on the palms of His hands.
 
After I listened to that sermon, I wanted to search more for the Scripture, and I was amazed again to see a picture of a very big hand with a little girl leaning on it. It was the song, “I will never forget you - Isaiah 49.” The song was new to me, and I had never seen that video with that picture before. I couldn’t thank Him enough for His comfort and love and stood amazed to see how He communicates in the secret place.
 
Just recently, while I was handling a matter, asking His help, I was a little bit discouraged by the recent circumstances. Yet, I chose to keep on trusting the Lord, and I was reminded of the memory from the last year on this verse. I thought I must write and post “I will never forget you.” Then, just a while back, I got a message from my home group leader in Singapore church, and it was on Isaiah 45:16 with the title, “You Are Never Forgotten.” It was timely confirmation and affirmation. I know He will never forget me and I'm in His big and warm hand, even when I don’t see the breakthrough yet, and I don’t see His promises fulfilled yet. I am not forgotten. You neither!
 
Dear friend,
You may feel lonely or weary. But our Heavenly Father says even if our mothers forget us, He will never forget us. Your name is inscribed on His Almighty Hands. He is touching your face with His warm hand, and He looks after you.  Please, don’t give up. His breakthrough is on your way. His promises will be fulfilled in His time.
 
Have a bliss!
Yunee

“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.
Your sons shall make haste;
Your destroyers and those who laid you waste
Shall go away from you. (Isaiah 49:15~17)
