One of my favorite popular songs is Nat King Cole’s “Unforgettable.” His smooth voice and gentle melody combine with nostalgic lyrics that speak of a lasting and mutual love.
“That’s why, darling, it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am
Unforgettable, too.”
When I listen to Nat sing that famous song, I think of my love for my wife and I like to think it reflects how she thinks of me too. Though I admit when I make blunders, the *reason* I’m unforgettable to her might not always be as edifying as I’d like to think! 🙂
Teach.org has a motto: “You don’t have to be famous to be unforgettable.” We all have the potential to make lasting and unforgettable impact on the lives we touch. It starts with looking beyond ourselves and our agendas. Making an unforgettable mark requires living life intentionally. When Jesus said, “You are the light of the world,” He was telling us to be intentional about letting that light (His light) shine in our lives in a way that pours out into the darkness around us. The light of Jesus reveals a love and hope that has power to transform lives (including yours and mine) in unforgettable ways.
We serve a truly unforgettable God! He is the one who spoke light into existence with His own words. He created everything from nothing. He molded the mountains and holds the oceans in the palm of His hands. He counts the stars and knows them by name. Even nature sings the praises of His name.
Did you know that God thinks you are unforgettable too? His Word says He thought of you when He laid the foundations of the earth. He looked across the chasm of eternity and saw that you and I needed an unforgettable Savior to rescue us from our sin dilemma. He promises an unforgettable everlasting future for those who love Him.
Be resolved to live a life made unforgettable by the power and to the glory of our unforgettable God! It starts today!
