ABANDONED?

But the people of Jerusalem said,:"The Lord has abandoned us!He has forgotten us."So the Lord answers," Can a woman forget her own baby and not love the child she bore? Even if a mother should forget her child,I will never forget you.Jerusalem,I can never forget you! I have written your name on the palm of my hands." Isaiah 49:-14-16

One of the saddest features today in Malaysian society is the discovery of abandoned new born babies- sometimes in the garbage dumps,shallow graves and even in toilets.Sometimes the child is still alive but oftentimes it is not.One can hardly imagine how the surviving child will feel when he/she discovers their personal history when they grow up.Doubt there will me much pain and anguish.Memories like that are hard to erase.

But God has no reason to abandon His children for the simple reason that we are not born out of wedlock. God is married to His people.Though many marriages break down these days,but Gods marriage wont.Of course there will be tough times in the union-but He wont leave because He is a faithful God.

Hebrews put it this way" I will never leave you or forsake you,so we say with confidence, The Lord is my Helper, I will not be afraid.What can anyone do to me?" So whatever circumstance you find yourself in- face the day with faith.He will never abandon you!!
