If you were ever going to abandon me you would have done then, the midnight hour in the Garden of Gethsemane where you agonized over what lie ahead. You saw the moment when the deplorable acts of your rebellious creation would be credited to You and You would feel the shame of unrighteousness before a Holy God. My sin was there lying heavy upon your back, but You thought of me and You pressed on.
If you were ever going to abandon me You would have done it then, when they beat you & put a crown of thorns upon Your head. They mocked you, laughing at the inconceivable thought that You could be the King of the Jews. How small and foolish their thinking was to limit the King of the Universe to an earthly reign. Just as they refused Your Lordship you knew I would too in the moments when I would seek my own glory instead of dying to self. Even in that moment when you saw my dissention, Your mercy extended and You endured.
If you were ever going to abandon me You would have done it then, when You hung upon the cross as the cruel and evil crowd taunted You to save yourself. Little did they know, You could have called a legion of angles to come and deliver you, but instead, you stayed the heavenly host and forbade them to interfere. The crowd could not understand that the greatest power of the Almighty God is Your power to love a destitute sinner like me. A sinner that would too often tremble with fear and agonize with worry forgetting that the Omnipotent One is for me and not against me. You saw me, and You stayed.
I sent you to the cross and you willingly went. You endured it all knowing that I was not worth it. No, you did not leave me then so I know you will not leave me now. The proof that You will not abandon me is evident in the cross.
