I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come to you. -- John 14:18
There is a great gap between word and practice when it comes to the knowledge that I am never alone. The Holy Spirit was sent so that I would never be alone again, but in moments of darkness do I choose to go down a path of self-pity? It is easy to be deceived by the feeling that I am alone, or that no one understands. The second part of this promise, that he will come, is hope. Jesus will come again to make all things right. Am I ready?
Prayer: Jesus, thank you for your promise. I declare today, that I will never be alone. Forgive me for my feelings loneliness. I long for you to come more and more in my life. Help me to make sure my lamp has oil when the hour comes.
