Ephesians 3:17-19
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge."
As I listened to my daily podcast of bible verses, every few chapters of the books of the Pentateuch and book of the prophets keep mentioning of the valiant success and then pitiful failures of the nation of Israel.
It's really sad to listen to the accounts of God's people forgetting God and then suffering the consequences.
It is also then that i came to the realisation that we are ungrateful beings. Short-termed memory, never satisfied, always complaining. These are just some of the key traits found in all of us. In many instances, we receive easily and forget too easily the source of our life and goodness.
I can't tell you how to not be forgetful, simply because I too view myself and recognise the flaws of my wretched life. But I pray we can remember the simple truth that God so loved the world that we were individually loved and saved.

Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless. (Ecclesiastes 5:10)
