I am helping someone who forgets what day it is, forgets where she's living, forgets important details of her life, forgets how to act to others, and even forgets who loves her. I've seen first hand the sadness and anger within an individual from the trauma of forgetting. The gift of daily living is often lost when someone forgets so much. But.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together (Colossians 1:17, TNIV).
Through the mess and the maze of the days of our life, we can be assured God is present, holding all things together. God does not forget who we are or the purpose of why we've been created to live in a specific time and place; God never forgets us. Even when we forget what's important, forget the gift of the day, forget God is in control, and forget God is present, we are assured, God is before all things and in Him all things hold together.
When we grasp the concept that God will never forget who we are, where we're at, and what we need, we're able to celebrate the gift of the day knowing God is making us new, enabling us to press on, empowering us to move forward do to what the Apostle Paul said, Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14, TNIV).
God has called us for more than what's occurred yesterday or what will be today. There's a bigger plan than what we are able to see.

In the midst of the suffering from forgetting the past and the present, I've seen the presence of God is with her, the gift of each day.Consider.

It makes sense to trust God in all things, to remember in Him all things hold together, to forget what's behind and to press on for which God has called us. Life, regardless of what's seen in the moment, is a gift. Remember the gift of today and celebrate it.
