My people don’t recognize my care for them. – Isaiah 1:3(NLT)
UNRECOGNIZED
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you able to show appreciation for your blessings?
When you count them, you are praising him
Take time to look at the flowers and smell them
God made creation so you will remember him.
He is there whether you are having a good or bad day
He rescues all those who love him in every way
He grants your requests and provide for your needs
Do you praise him and do you constantly believe?

When children reach their teen years, they sometimes pull away from the parents. They can be vulnerable in their search for identity if they get into the wrong company. For the first 13 years of my son’s life, we were very close and open with each other. I was a single parent and we were inseparable. By the time he was 11, he started rebelling and did his best to stay away from me. He did the opposite of what we used to do, praising the Lord and praying to him daily. I didn’t realize that was going on but after his father died, I found out that his own father was teaching him the ways of the world and contradicting all the values I taught him. It was that time that he didn’t recognize my love for him. Sometimes our heavenly father may feel the same way with us.

UNRECOGNIZED Poem Devotional

He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him.
– John 1:10(NLT)
UNRECOGNIZED
A poem and essay by ILMA
God existed before the world was created
He made all things, was pleased and delighted
He made man and woman in his own likeness
He asked them to be holy and live in righteousness
Man disobeyed God and gave in to Satan’s temptation
So God had to bring Jesus to grant man’s redemption
Christ came in the world, but the world didn’t recognize him
Their hearts were corrupted for they were living in sin.

When someone you used to know becomes unrecognizable, what do you think led you to have a distorted view of that person? When you are drawn to someone because of love, you want to know much about this person so you can get closer to him or her. You wouldn’t want to have anything to do with someone you despise, so you would most likely stay away from them. The farther you are from someone, the less you know about this person. The nearer you are to them, the easier it is to know them.
It is the same with Jesus Christ, we can recognize him if we maintain a close relationship with him through his word. If we have this fire to know him deeply, we will hear his voice and know what his Spirit is saying.
