Never Alone

Never Alone

John 14:15–17 (NLT)

If you love me, obey my commandments.  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.  He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.

In this season of my life, there have been moments when loneliness settled deep within me, echoing through the quiet spaces of my heart. I longed for comfort, for someone to talk who would simply listen and understand. Then I am reminded of these tender yet powerful words from Jesus in John 14:15–17, and they met me right where I am.

This promise was not just for the disciples, it was for me too.  Jesus promised He would send help; The Holy Spirit who would never leave me. I began to sense Him as a quiet presence, a whisper of peace when my world felt loud with worry. When I could not find strength to pray, He prayed through my sighs. When I did not know what truth to hold onto, He reminded me of Jesus’ love, steadfast and faithful..

Loving Jesus, I have come to realize it is not about perfection. It is about relationship. It is about learning to walk with Him through the uncertainties, choosing to trust even when nothing makes sense.. Each time I laid down my need to control, I felt His presence wrap around me reminding me that I am never alone.

His love does not press me to be perfect, it invits me to rest. To breathe. To simply believe that His grace is enough for me, right here, right now.

Moment of Reflection:

In the stillness, I realized the Holy Spirit was not just beside me, but within me guiding, comforting, and reminding me that I am never without help, never without hope.

Where have you noticed the gentle presence of the Holy Spirit lately, in the pauses, the tears, or the moments of peace that make no sense at all?

Prayer

Holy Spirit, thank You for being my constant companion. When I feel forgotten, remind me that You are near. When my heart grows weary, breathe Your peace into me.  Let Your truth quiet every fear and Your presence fill every empty space within me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Verse to Hold
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”  Hebrews 13:5

  Endurance in Suffering: Finding God in Pain" Romans 5:3-4 (NIV) Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope."   Romans 5:3-4 is a powerful passage that speaks to finding strength and growth through adversity. Paul encourages believers to find purpose in their suffering. Instead of being defeated by trials, we are called to persevere, knowing that endurance develops character and leads to hope. Reflecting on this passage, finding God in pain can mean recognizing His presence during our trials. Pain is a worldwide experience, something we all face at different points in our lives. In my personal journey as a Christian pain served as a facilitator for growth beyond mere affliction. The loss of a child stands as one of life's most poignant trials for a woman. Enduring several miscarriages, I clung to hope and prayer for a successful pregnancy. Yet, after week...

Grandma’s Refuge

  Grandma’s Refuge   Proverbs 14:26 (ESV)   In the fear of the Lord, one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.   As a grandmother, I often lie awake at night wondering if there is a truly safe place for my grandchildren in this chaotic, ever-changing world. My heart aches with questions: Will they be, okay? Will they find peace, truth, and safety? Then God gave me Proverbs 14:26: "In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge." This verse settled deep in my soul. It reminded me that when I walk in reverence and trust in God, He becomes their refuge, even when I cannot be there. It gave me confidence, a holy reassurance: God’s got this. He is the unshakable, solid ground beneath their feet. And as I continue to trust Him, I am building a legacy of faith that becomes a shelter for them.   The safest place for our grandkids is not found in gated communities or well-padded bank accounts. It is found in ...

" God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss

  " God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss Isaiah 57:1 (NIV) "The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil." In Isaiah 51:1 Isaiah declares the fate of the righteous, they perish, and it goes unnoticed or misunderstood by people. We often mourn the loss of the righteous without realizing that their departure might be a merciful act from God. He spares them from future evils and suffering that they might otherwise endure. In life’s journey there are times when the events around us seem to challenge our understanding. One such perplexing event is the untimely passing of those who live righteously. Isaiah 57:1 provides a profound insight into God’s wisdom and timing, reminding us that there is a greater purpose behind what we perceive as loss. My own experience is the untimely passing of one of my most precious gift from God, my eighteen-year-old so...
