“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.”
The Loneliness
This verse names a specific, striking comparison here, worth examining directly, a nursing mother’s own bond, worth holding as this movement’s own vivid picture of genuinely reliable care, worth considering whether any human relationship has actually modeled this described, comprehensive reliability for you.
Notice yea, they may forget, worth holding as remarkable, honest acknowledgment that even this most reliable, described human bond can genuinely, actually fail, worth trusting this honest admission as needed realism, not naive assumption that human relationships are automatically, reliably permanent.
This is worth applying against whatever human failure this whole book has honestly named, worth receiving this verse’s own actual contrast, yet will I not forget thee, God’s own reliability held directly against even this most reliable human bond’s own, honest, possible failure, worth trusting as genuinely different.
Whatever human forgetting you have genuinely experienced, even from relationships that should have been most reliable, receive today this verse’s own direct promise, yet will I not forget thee, worth trusting this as genuinely, actually different from whatever human failure this whole book has honestly, actually named.
