It hits home for me every time.
John 14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”
The context of this verse is Jesus promising us the Holy Spirit. Jesus is with us in spirit if we accept him as our savior.
I was once abandoned and rejected by the world but now am adored, fought for and accepted by Christ. I am overwhelmed by his love.
I (Christ) will not (doesn’t even want to) leave you (give up, move to another) as orphans (stray, motherless, fatherless) I (Christ) will (must, always will) come to you. Who? Yes, you- me- everyone.
Readers, I know this a a short writing but dont miss the meaning inside this verse.
Read.
Pray.
Reread.
Pray.
He’s not going anywhere!

I once left what I knew to be true to be in the world. For thirteen years I was lost but my Savior redeemed me and I too and now in love and want to reach and lead others to that love. Nothing like the love of Jesus! Thank you for sharing your verse!! Mine is Proverbs 4:25-27 and my story is the book of Hosea. Be blessed and thank you for sharing!
