Can a mother forget her infant,
be without tenderness for the child of her womb?
Even should she forget,
I will never forget you. - Isaiah 49:15
The love of a mother for her child is perhaps the strongest emotion on earth. The vast majority of mothers will do all in their power to care for their children and do what they feel is best for them. They stand by their children no matter what. Yet, sadly, there are mothers who do forget, who for whatever reason, are not capable of that love. God is telling us His love is stronger than that. He will never forget us. He loves us more than any mother possibly could. He made us. We belong to Him.
