During a time in my life many years ago I was in a long term devastation. I felt forsaken and abandoned. I had come across a verse in Psalm 27:10 that read, "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord took me up."

In that very moment when I read those words they went straight into my heart, and life sprang into it. I knew that God had spoken to me by that living word. I knew He was letting me know that He was with me all along, and that He had taken me up long ago. Many years later after God had healed my life and "brought up my life from the sides of the pit," I was making the bed and remembering that verse.

With the remembering of that verse, I was going through my mind the memories of all the rejection, abandonment and being forsaken going back to my childhood. I was thanking Him in a way that was like saying thank you to someone who had helped me all the way until now. Who truly undertook for my whole life all those hardest and worse years. My thanking Him was like saying thank you to a person who had "gotten me to the other side" so to speak.

Like the angel who appeared in to Peter in prison. When he told him to get up and the angel opened the prison door, and they both went out into the street and the angel departed from him. As I thought those words in my heart I heard the Lord speak to me saying, "When I take up a persons life that has been forsaken, I take them up for the rest of their lives."

Still looking back I understand more today than those years now past. He not only takes up a person's life at some point. But He takes up all that concerns them in detail faithfully. Their whole life is now taken up by our God and He continues to beautify and heal it. Furthermore, I see that it is not just about a father and mother forsaking their children.

There are many people out there where they have been forsaken by their spouses, their children, a most trusted friend. There are many circumstances of being forsaken. However, it is then that Jesus Christ will take up that person and all that pertains to their entire life till their blessed end.

This life is transitory. One day this life will end for each of us. Christ has taken up His cross and died for us. Therefore we forsake this world in exchange for the other one. "For He sayeth I will never leave thee nor forsake thee not even until the end of the world."

“God will never disappoint us… If deep in our hearts we suspect that God does not love us and cannot manage our affairs as well as we can, we certainly will not submit to His discipline. …To the unbeliever the fact of suffering only convinces him that God is not to be trusted, does not love us. To the believer, the opposite is true.” ― Elisabeth Elliot, Discipline: The Glad Surrender
