I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.
Psalm 34:1-6 (ESV)Those who seek the Lord, find the Lord. If you have not found Him, you have not been seeking Him. You would rather give up this life than your association with Him when you find Him. It has been that way throughout history. The term abandonment would not work because you cannot abandon a God with Whom you are only acquainted. Those willing to abandon God have never really sought Him in the first place.
