Isaiah 49:15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!"
We have girls that come to the home I work at who have been abused by a family member. Some of the mothers of these girls accuse the girl of lying. They basically disown the daughter in favor of the abuser staying out of jail, usually to provide financially for the family.
Many times I am so taken aback that a mother can be so cruel to their daughter. How can you throw your daughter out? Is it all about survival? Fear? Shame? Or do they really not have love for the girl?
The Isaiah 49:15 verse reminds us that God will never forget us. He is not like a mother who has no compassion on her own child. God's love is perfect. No matter what we do he will continue to love us. It is good to know that there is always someone who loves these girls even when it seems everyone else has stopped loving them.
