My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words...

Isaiah 59:21 NLT

Are you lonely?

In this crazy world filled with so many people, I can feel so lonely…  

Everyone is in a hurry to do their own thing. 

Busy being busy.

Even friends hardly linger for a response when asking, “how are you?” 

It can feel like no one seems to care… really.

Can you relate?

I have learned the secret to healing loneliness… do you want to know it?

Jesus.

Look at this promise…

The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem to buy back those in Israel who have turned from their sins,” says the Lord. “And this is my covenant with them, says the Lord. “My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your children’s children forever. I, the Lord, have spoken! (Isaiah 59:20-21 NLT).

The Lord says… my Spirit will not leave… neither will these words.

It is a promise to put His Spirit within me… so He will never leave me… I will never be alone.

Trusting in Jesus makes this promise happen.

Look at what Jesus said… 

And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:20 NLT).

I am never alone… Jesus is with me…  always.

Jesus = Always.

Jesus always in my heart… speaking to me.

Jesus always… cares.

Jesus always listens… and I mean really listens… and He responds to me… better than anyone else.

Look for Him… and you will find Him. 

Father, in the quiet of my heart, You speak to me, reminding me that You sent Jesus, my Redeemer to save me. Your covenant with me gives Your Spirit and Your Word continually, never leaving. This is Your promise to my heart that You are there… always. Thank you! In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
