..You may not know me, but I know who you are..

One day, a man went to a souvenir shop to buy something for his wife. 

It's about noon time when he entered the shop and was greeted by the sales lady in the counter. 

After sometime of waiting, the lady asked what he is looking for. 

He said he want something for his wife. He hadn't missed a Sunday not seeing her.

 "Only that she doesn't recognized me. Alzheimer's", he said without a tint of regret.

"Why do you keep on visiting her when she doesn't even know who you are", the lady asked attentively.

"Because even though she might not know me, I KNOW WHO SHE IS".

It was Father's Day of last year when I heard this story in The Feast PICC with my sister. I was a first time attendee, and indeed, it's one of the happiest place on Earth. Robz and I were holding hands while we were praising the Lord for all the undeserved blessings. 

Oftentimes, I myself am undergoing episodes of Alzheimer's. It's a disease that occurs when we set ourselves apart from God. 

When job invades our time .

When bills are engrossed.

When deadlines keep knocking at our doors.

When disappointments are unbearable.

When hurts are overwhelming.

When prestige and success are blinding.

I believe God is not susceptible to memory loss, to brain hypoxia, and even to anterograde and retrograde amnesia. For even though there are a hundred and one instances we tend to stray away, you are enough to be His hundred and one reason to say, "It doesn't matter if you don't know Me. What matters is I know who you are. My beloved".

What's your "Alzheimer's"

Here's a friendly prescription:

Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?

Though she may forget, 

I will not forget you!- Isaiah 49:15
