Mary and Joseph’s Negligence

The LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you- De. 31:6.

“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! See I have engraved you on the palms of my hands- Is. 49:15-16.

Mother forget us? You may think that’s impossible. But it is possible. Out biological father also forget us.

While Joseph and Mary were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.

Joseph and Mary had no oblivion. And they knew Jesus wasn’t not an ordinary boy; he is the son of most High. Yet they forgot him. They didn’t look around at least once to make sure Jesus coming with them. See their negligence. They left Jesus alone.
Our parents are not greater than they are. Wouldn’t they forget us? They do forget us. But God is not like our parents. He takes care of us every second day and night. Under his protection, we’re living. We do remember this every time.

Even if our parents disown us, God won’t disowns us.
