Abandonment, unworthiness?

Thought my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

Psalms 27:10

I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.

Job 19:25-27

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all —how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

(…) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor dept, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:32; 37-39

God sent his only-begotten child, to take form of a true human being, laying down to his divine privileges during his peregrination on this earth. Jesus gave himself to death on a cross and His blood was the price he personally paid for my redemption. I’m so worthy that the very God incarnated blood was the price! Not because of me and the value I have, but because of Christ’s amazing purity and honor.

Psalm 27 talks about the psalmist, David, persecuted, his enemies wanted him dead. Could be such distress and anguish possible, that he uses the image of a child being abandoned by his parents? How it amazes me the fact that I have Lord’s compassion and adoption assured, as well as His love!… As the hymn says:

Yea, justified!
O blessed thought!
And sanctified!
Salvation wrought!
Thy blood hath pardon
Bought for me,
And glorified,
I too, shall be!

Aaron Robarts Wolfe (1821-1902)

One last thought on the Job’s affirmation, that I’m adopting to my own reality:

Even when my flesh has been destroyed by the abuse, yet in my flesh, when fully glorified, I will see the Almighty God in the land of the living.

No longer unworthy, no longer alone by myself, what happened to me doesn’t define who I am. Jesus takes care of me, Jesus will help me to heal, because I’m loved and accepted in Him.
