I will not leave you

“The most terrible poverty is loneliness,
and the feeling of being unloved.”
- Mother Teresa of Calcutta

“Loneliness is the first thing
which God's eye named, not good”
- John Milton

“Loneliness accepted becomes a gift
leading one from a life dominated by tears
to the discovery of one's true self
and finally to the heart of longing
and the love of God.”
- Author Unknown

“… be satisfied with your present
[circumstances and with what you have];
for He [God] Himself has said,
I will not in any way fail you
nor give you up
nor leave you without support.
[I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not
in any degree leave you helpless
nor forsake nor let [you] down
(relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]
So we take comfort
and are encouraged
and confidently and boldly say,
The Lord is my Helper;
I will not be seized with alarm
[I will not fear or dread or be terrified].”
– Hebrews 13:5,6 AMP

“I will not leave you as orphans
[comfortless, desolate,
bereaved, forlorn, helpless];
I will come [back] to you.”
- John 14:18 AMP
