JESUS NEVER LEAVES US

“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Matthew 28:20 KJV

Ludie D. Pickett wrote one of my favorite hymns “Never Alone”.  I love these words.  “When in affliction’s valley I tread the road of care, My Savior helps me carry the cross so heavy to bear; Though all around me is darkness, earthly joys all flown; My Savior whispers His promise, never to leave me alone!”

On August 14, 1980, when I invited Jesus into my heart to be my personal Saviour, He told me He would never leave me and He has kept His Word.  Our family and friends have to leave us and go home but Jesus never leaves us.  What a precious promise that is to our weary battle scarred heart.

A husband and wife were driving down the road and the wife said “We don’t sit next to each other any more”.  The husband replied “I haven’t moved”.  The husband hadn’t moved because he was driving.  If we feel Jesus has moved, He hasn’t.  It is us that have left Him.  Jesus always keeps His promises.

Heavenly Father, how I love You.  Thank You for all You have done for me, for adopting me into Your family and for giving me the privilege to serve Your Son.  I pray for every person who is hurting and lonely.  Please encourage and comfort them as You have done for me so many times.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
