Scripture:
“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
— John 14:18 (NKJV)
Points:
- Jesus assures us of His continuing presence.
- We are not abandoned, even when we feel alone.
- His coming is not only future — it is daily and spiritual.
- Orphaned fear fades in the presence of our Father.
- We can live in peace knowing we are not left behind.
Poem: Never Left Alone
The night grew cold with silent steps.
I thought perhaps you’d gone for good.
But then your voice returned again.
A whisper through my empty room—
“I will not leave, I never did.”
You never wrote me off or fled.
You never left me on my own.
You came and stayed, though I forgot.
You found me in my lost despair.
You made a home inside my fear.
You didn’t wait for me to shine.
You came when all the lights went dim.
You called me yours, though I had strayed.
You took the name I thought I’d lost.
You gave me place and held me close.
Orphaned hearts don’t know they’re loved.
But you rewrote that tale for me.
You walked in love I can’t outgrow.
You made the dark a place of peace.
You stayed, and that has changed my soul.
Today I live as one who’s known.
No longer cast aside or missed.
You are my Lord, my home, my light.
You come to me and stay for good.
I am not orphaned — I am loved.
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for not leaving me alone. In every lonely place, You come near. Help me rest in the truth that I am never forsaken. Amen.
