Do you know the lesson of the tiny blue forget-me-not? God has planted them in this world to speak to you of Him—to say, with a silent voice, as you look into their bright blue eyes, “Forget-Me-not.” Ah, how much we need to learn that lesson by heart! We are always forgetting about the One who has done such great things for us.
How would it have been for us—poor lost sinners, young and old—if the Lord Jesus in His infinite love and mercy had not remembered us—remembered us with a love that could even “bare our sins in His own body on the tree?” 1 Peter 2:2424Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24). Can our cold hard hearts forget that? Shall we who are saved not come to Him and say, “Lord Jesus, Thou hast remeered me and died for me. I do thank Thee for it. I do thank Thee that Thou has saved me. Help me to always remember Thee.”
Strange that we should need reminders of love like that, but we do.
God has given a solemn warning in His Word for those who forget Him altogether and who die in their sins. We hope that none of our readers are in that class, and will refuse to be reminded of God’s great love in providing a Saviour for sinners. How dreadful the words,
