Over the past few days I found myself duing devotions going over a few things in memory. Things from long ago that brought heart brokenness. What was surprising is that the same powerful feelings of the long ago moments of those heart breaks were still powerfully alive in me.

As I was remembering those things, I had an image of something broken and shattered in pieces before me. I spoke to the Lord as I had that vision in view saying, "Lord, how can you pour into my heart, my vessel, your living waters? How can my broken heart catch and hold your rivers?"

I heard Him speak quietly within me, "When a heart is unbroken it is harder for the living waters to flow into it. The waters pour over it but not into it because it is closed up, there are no entrances. But the broken heart allows the rivers of life to fully flow into it."

I saw the vision change to seeing water from above flowing like rushing mighty waters in through the broken pieces. The broken pieces became the very entrances for His life flow of love.

I started to think about what it meant to remember, and how it is something we all do every day all day long. But there is another kind of "remembering." It is spiritual, and it is created in us as believers to always remember Jesus Christ. God also wants us to call upon Him to remember us.

Nehemiah said it many times, "Lord remember me."

David, Hezekiah, Hannah, Rachel, Isaacs wife, Job, the Israelites, the thief on the cross and many others prayed the same thing and God remembered and answered them.

There comes a time that you must do the same. Do not shrink back from it during hard times, weaknesses, fears and sorrows. Say those three powerful words to the Lord the same as them, "Lord, remember me!" Remember also, "His thoughts for you are innumerable" more than the sand of the seashore."

And just as Jesus answered the thief on the cross, He will answer you and say, "Today...."

"And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me." Luke 22:19 - Jesus Christ.

"But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present."

- Oswald Chambers
