Unshaken Love

The ancient Greeks and Romans (among too many other societies) have practised the chilling, abhorrent yet simple habit of exposing an unacceptable new-born infant. The unapproved child was abandoned upon a hillside until exposure, hunger, thirst or animal attack would claim their innocent life prematurely.

To be abandoned is to be destroyed.

To be abandoned is to be absent from life's anointings and available for life's assaults.

To be abandoned is to lose all protection and receive no advocacy.

To be abandoned is to be lashed by life's unfailing storms and endure them without comfort.

Isaiah speaks in chapter 54 of God's renewed grace and loving commitment towards a people lost to love, live to rejection and alert to abandonment. The Lord knows that the abandoned person enjoys no warmth and receives the commitment of no-one.

To the despised, the dejected and those in despair God rightly affirms His unfailing love that cannot be shaken by any event you may do or is done to you.

God's love remains secure above all earthly events, unaffected by any earthly actions.

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. (Is 54:10)
