New Exodus, New Creation, New Age

I have forgotten my faith...
Romans 5:1-2
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.
And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

I have forgotten where my hope lies...
Job 17: 13-16
13 If the only home I hope for is the grave,
if I spread out my bed in darkness,
14 if I say to corruption, 'You are my father,'

and to the worm, 'My mother' or 'My sister,'
15 where then is my hope?

Who can see any hope for me?
16 Will it go down to the gates of death?

Will we descend together into the dust?

I have forgotten who I love...
John 14:20-21
20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me.
He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to
him."

Even though I have forgotten in the past... I know that today...

I am my Beloved's and He is mine!

1 Thessalonians 5:8-10
8 But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a
breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
