Feeling Abandoned
The sting of abandonment โ whether by a parent, spouse, friend, or community โ cuts to the core of your identity and worth. When those who should have stayed walked away, it is natural to wonder if something is fundamentally wrong with you. But God declares that even if your father and mother forsake you, He will receive you. These scriptures assure you that God's love is not conditional on others' faithfulness, and His presence fills the void that human abandonment leaves behind.
