hearts. It means that He is all-knowing.
There is nothing that anyone can teach
Him. He never has to learn anything.
Shane
Pruitt
There is never a moment when He has
to guess, has to be told something,
or has to be reminded. Did you catch
that? He doesn’t have to be reminded,
because He never forgets. One more
time: He never forgets. He remembers
everything. He knows where you’ve
been, where you are, and where you’re
going. Your feelings and emotions
may cause you to believe that He has
forgotten you, that He has amnesia.
However, be reminded of this attribute
and never forget that He never forgets.
He is greater than your feelings. He
knows everything, and that includes
you. “Whenever our heart condemns
us, God is greater than our heart, and
he knows everything” (1 John 3:20,
ESV).
