“Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.” (Psalm 27:10 NLT)
Many of us feel abandoned by our parents. Fatherlessness in many societies is running rampant today. Moms and dads are too busy with their own lives to give their family quality and quantity time and attention. Other young ones suffer abuse or neglect because those who should be protecting and caring for them are held captive by addictions. Relationships between parents and their adult children are severed for various reasons including conflict, selfishness, or ill health.
My father died in 2013. My mother, currently in her early eighties, is showing signs of memory loss and possible dementia. Though we know such things as these are beyond their control, we can feel abandoned by those who became an integral part of our lives the day we were born, our love for them and theirs for us woven into each other’s hearts. Losing them rips away a part of us that can only be restored when we are reunited in heaven.
There is one who has promised to never leave us or forsake us. He will never get sick and die or grow old or stop loving us because we’ve disappointed him. He knows all of our needs and has every resource to meet them. And he is preparing a glorious home for us in heaven where we can live forever with him. And all we have to do is repent of our sins and trust in the sacrifice of his Son, Jesus on a Roman cross two thousand years ago.
PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father, thank you so much for sending your son Jesus to die for our sins so that we could become your children. Thank you that you constantly care for and watch over us and will one day joyfully welcome us to our home in heaven with you. AMEN
