"Don't Give Up On Me"
​Andy Grammer

In this moment, Jesus has lost everything yet He still continues to fight because He loves us. 

“I will fight, I will fight for you, I always do until my heart is black and blue.” 

We all have times in our lives where things did not go the way we planned and we have had things taken away from us without any reason or warning. When Jesus had everything taken from Him, He chose to continue to fight and not give in to the crowd.

“Cause I’m not givin’ up, I’m not givin’ up, givin’ up, no, not yet even when I’m down to my last breath. Even when they say there’s nothing left. So don’t give up on me.”

Listen as you reflect: 

Jesus has never given up on us, even in our weakest moments, He is always there. We can’t give up on Him in this time either because although He is beaten down, His love and fight will never be stripped away.

Think about a time that something had been taken away from you that once brought you a sense of comfort or safety. How did you push through the pain and keep fighting even after feeling this loss? Did you turn to God in your time of need?

"Look at Jesus. He has made it to His final destination, but the pain is not yet over. He is standing in front of the crowds feeling tired and weak. The soldiers prepare to crucify Him by ripping His clothes off His back. What once brought Him comfort has now caused Him pain as the clothes being torn away reopen old wounds. He is being laughed at and judged. He has now lost everything that He has but still continues to fight to save us all."
