i am not forgotten - what a great message tonight

this is gonna be one awesome series at hpc. it started tonight and i'm telling you, i feel like this one has some extra umph to it. i pray God will use it to touch a lot of people.

here's my notes i took during the service just now. well worth the read - not because my notes are great but because the Truth in them is very potent.

here's a section of the notes:

I couldn’t shake the thought. Let people know – the lost, the overlooked, the abandoned – that they have not been forgotten.

Taking a look throughout the Bible where God himself remembered people even though they felt that he was a long ways away.

Have you ever felt that God was far away from you – like you got lost in the shuffle? In the big crowd of your family or your workplace – you’ve been overlooked.

When you wonder if God forgot where you live, or wonder where He is when you’re suffering – God is closer than you think. He loves you and is there for you and is waiting on you - right now – to bring you into truth and to have an intimate relationship with you – that you matter- you’re not just a number.

God knows the number of hairs on your head. For some of us God is doing math every day on us.

God cares about the details – he KNOWS your details.

To be forgotten – to escape notice – to be cast away – passed up. Unremembered. When the list was compiled, you are the one that was unremembered. Godforsaken. What a word to even have in our vocabulary. That anything would be labeled “Godforsaken.”
