Ironically, we mostly see them in bushes, solitary places and rarely approach them due to their tininess I guess. They really feel what we feel towards them. "Forget-me-not", they cry!
Forget-Me-Not plants symbolize true love. The forget-me-not flowers are a medium, "true blue". And as the name suggests, they are given or used to decorate gifts with the hope the recipient will not forget the giver. It also symbolizes faithful love and memories. Fiction has it that after God named all the flowers in the garden, one little flower cried, "forget-me-not" and God decided that, that would be the perfect name for the little flower.
Have you noticed something peculiar about life? We early ignore people who love us dearly to pay attention to those who merely do. Isn't this kind of weird?
Well, tomorrow marks another unforgettable moment in the life of someone. Sunday is National Forget-Me-Not Day. We have witnessed times and seasons when we thought our hope had failed due to the forgetfulness of a loved one. Human beings are naturally programmed with a limited memory. That is why we have concepts like short term memory and long term memory. We are susceptible to forgetfulness. Its natural!
Yet, there lives one man ,one father , one lover who always remembers regardless. He is our creator and heavenly father. A verse in the book of Isaiah reads: But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me." "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
Yes! There comes times we say to ourselves: "Has God forgotten me?" Those times may surely come but remember that the same bible reminds us in Ecclesiastes that "There is time for everything, A season to every activity". He knows and still remembers.
It's worth forgetting things that aren't worth our future or today. Things like hurt, betrayal, ingratitude, bitterness. But true love must never be let cold nor forgotten.
As I write and write more inspiring and educative content on this blog for your audience and impression, I will dearly appreciate if you also forget me not!
