Abandonment

People Abandon, But Not the Highest Heavens

When my dad walked out and then I found out he even denied to people having any kids, I can't tell you how that hurt.  The pain of a parent abandoning you is something that truly no amount of therapy or man made vanities will ever truly heal.  

Trying to reconcile that one of the two people who is supposed to love and cherish you most has abandoned you, denied you even exist, can't be healed with affirmations, and counseling, not at any real and deep levels.   Up until recently I never realized how much that had hurt me, affected me and kept me in fear of life, of realizing my full potential.   Once I realized that, and really came to full realization of my faith, of how much I loved the Lord, the Message of the Cross, what he did to me, I had a great realization.  I was never alone, but I couldn't really see it, too clouded by my pain and the abandonment of my human father, not realizing I had a true Father, a Redeemer and also a comforter, as well as a host of angels who would never abandon me and keep me walking on a straight and right line.  As long as I seek them out, the Cross and what was accomplished there as my source of strength, wisdom etc..., I am never alone.  Human being may let me down, knock me down and everything in between, as they as well as I have a sin nature and at any time are oppressed and repressed by Satan.  The Trinity will always be with me even when people are not.  It has taken me a while to really have that sink in, a good long while.  A broken heart is no fun, can lead to depression and worse, but that shed blood at Calvary tells us we never have to be alone again. There are several passages about this in the Bible and so when you feel let down by people, abandoned, don't because you are never abandoned, alone etc... not really, unless you are not looking in the right place.

Bible Passages:  

Joshua 1:9, Isaiah : 49:15-16, Psalm 27:14, 34:18, Deut 31:6, Heb 13:5-6, Rom 8:38-39, 2 Chr 7:14,  John 3:16-17 and Matt: 28:20 among others.

Know that you are never abandoned or alone, never.

Shalom and Amen
