God Never Forgets Anything Except Our Sins

I am one of those people who has been saved since I was like two seconds old (this is of course an exaggeration).  In the years of my walk with the Lord I have felt at many times that all of what I was living was for nothing.  I worked hard to get good grades, I stayed away from the bad kids (most of the time), and I did so many extracurricular activities including church that my name was all over the place.  By the time I was ready to graduate high school I was upset because I thought that all of my work was going to soon mean nothing.  I cried and was totally devastated that I had spent so much time doing things that wouldn't matter after I was gone.  I began to doubt that doing good would yield any sort of favorable result, and I asked God what was the point.  My mother told me to hold on and wait because she believed that I would not be forgotten.  That next week I received three different scholarships from my school as well as several awards that I had not expected to receive.  The Lord had blessed me for my hard work. 

 I  learned an important faith lesson that continues to expand itself as I continue my journey of faith.  God's promises are always true, and as we work for others on behalf of our Lord he gives us what we need and desire.  This isn't always a right away result, but it is promised.  God doesn't forget what we do for him, and he doesn't forget our prayers that we pray to him.  He remembers and he responds according to his word which is forever.  No matter how long it takes God still promised his people to supply all of our needs according to his riches in glory, and that if we ask anything in his name believing that we would receive it.  He also promised us that he would throw our sins in the sea of forgetfulness, and that he does not keep account of wrongs.  Pretty much God has promised to be there for us no matter what, and to love us no matter what.  I am living by that word and for that kind of God.

Now I can feel when God is moving on my behalf, and I know that whatever I do in the name of the Lord last forever.  He will remember what I've done and what I have prayed to him.  I know this because he has answered every prayer and provided everything that I have ever needed.  I really love the Lord, but I know that no matter how much I love him he will always love me more. He is teaching me his love by showing me, and in return my thoughts are toward showing him that I love him back.  God never forgets his people, and his people should in return never forget who he is.  God is Love.
