Remember Me

Posted by Jimi Williams on Apr 11, 2011 | Comments Off

God cries out us from the Scriptures “Remember me! Don’t forget me!”.

There’s a part of God is all of us that has this same cry. We all want to be remembered by the ones we love. Nothing is more heartbreaking than to think that once we die, our memory will forever be erased from our friends and loved ones. I want Jennifer, Christian and Elijah to always remember and honor me no matter how busy life gets. To think anything otherwise causes me great sorrow.

Scripture helps me to believe that God shares similar feelings. He repeatedly reminded Israel to “remember all that I’ve done for you. You’re gonna be tempted to forget, but don’t!” Sadly, some do forget and I’m sure this is heart wrenching for God to endure.

As Easter approaches, we want to make sure we “remember” all the God has done for us. When we remember, we bring honor. It’s good and right to take time out of our schedules to reflect on who God is and what He has done. And as we remember, thanksgiving and worship well up inside of us.

For me, Easter is a time when the church can gather together collectively to “remember” and say “thank you” for all that God has done. I hope you’ll join us at the Bridge on Sunday, April 24th to say thanks to the God who gave everything for us.
