He Forgets Not His Own


"He forgets not his own..."

I woke with the refrain running through my head, and now, several hours later, the refrain... will not refrain. It's on repeat mode, for the time being.

He forgets not his own.

He forgets not his own.

He forgets not his own.

What beautiful words. I suspect the hymn has been drawn forth at least in part by a beautiful Pixar movie (most of what Pixar does is beautiful, so this is not an exceptional movie in that regard) called Toy Story 3.

In Toy Story 3, which I watched with my kids last night, we see yet again the themes of fidelity in friendship, loyalty in love... time-honored themes. It was a touching movie.

I guess I have nothing earth-shattering to write here. I'm just setting down my thoughts as I reflect on God's fidelity to us, we who are so terribly unfaithful to him. How beautiful it is to know that God loves us so much.

He forgets not his own.

How beautiful to wake to those words.

He forgets not his own.
