Not Forsaken

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.
Psalms 22:1?-?2 NIV

Psalm of David full of God's spirit.
Your ,God heard your cries of anguish.
From, your descendants one did arise.
To bring the eternal promised spirit.
Breaking and releasing the cords of death.
Even, in His death He called out to make notice,
As a reminder of the one who felt forsaken.
That ,one might  hear it is finished.
Fulfilling, all your pleas unto God.
That, He was here to bring one a way.
Unto, a new creation releasing from captivity.
Given access that one might seek
For, it was not God that forsake
But, mankind that goes against His will.
Only, to be brought back through Christ.
It might seem to many as God has forsaken
While, the few hold onto His presence within.
Seeing the beauty of God's creation.
Each moment of the day seeking His guidance.
In ,God's word finding a safe haven into rest.
Unveiling, His word was the same then, 
As of today and will remain.
Mankind blindly and foolishly
Seeking ways of life rejecting God.
That, through Christ it shall be known.
It's not God that has forsaken
But, as myself once forsake His presence.
Consumed by the evil that rules the world.
Now, being consumed of the conforming
Unto a new mind, heart and conscience.
All glory unto God the father of all creation.

At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
Mark 15:33?-?34 NIV

Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?”
John 7:42 NIV

Your soothing words, I will cherish your thoughts, Stephan. Jesus asked why have you forsaken me? And we understand that it was his fate for our salvation.

When we are in deep distress, we feel that God has forsaken us. But let us know that God hasn't forsaken any one. He is accessible to every one and His mercy shall fall upon all if we turn to Him.We go after our ways and foolishly reject Him. But God willed that those of mankind who go against Him shall be brought back to Him through Christ. Beautiful broodings on God's endless mercy. Stay blessed dear Stephan
