Summary: Today we look at the fourth saying from Jesus on the cross. The Word of Abandonment. Sometimes in life we can feel like God has abandoned us. But if you look back over your life, I bet you could find some evidence that God was with you even when you were going through things you didn't want to go through. He was with you even through divorce. He was with you even through the abortion. He was with you even through the bankruptcy. He was with you even through the failure, the loneliness, or betrayal. I am grateful that I can look back over my life and realize that though some people who said they were my friends left me, God has never left me. He's with me today. He's with you today as well. And He'll never leave us. For you and for me, he's "a friend who sticks closer than a brother." Wake Up and Live - Empowered - Blessed - Loved #wordofabandonment #neverleavesus #jesuslaststatements
