Abandoned-Not Forsaken

“For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.”~ Isa. 54:6

Fortunate indeed is that individual who can go on with his or her life, after being abandoned by a person or persons dear to them. 

 It is a pitiful sight to see one clinging to someone who wants nothing to do with him or her. The words of a country song illustrate my point, "He was a man holding on to a woman letting go." Blessed is that man or woman who, when loved ones and friends have gone away, can walk away; leaving it to the past. Making it a part of HISTORY, in his or her life! 

 Jesus told His disciples that they would leave Him alone, and then added, “…yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.” This is the secret of perennial victory in one’s life, during those times of abandonment: a God consciousness. After all, who could ever be lonely with a companion such as He? 

 A mother may forget her sucking child; a Demas may forsake us; all may desert us; “[But] He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper
