I Will Not Leave You Orphans

Scripture for This DBM

John 14:18

Additional references: John 13:34, Romans 8

Message in Brief

In this daily message, Pastor Ratna Maita shares the comforting promise of Jesus from John 14:18, reminding believers that Christ will not leave them as orphans. Even as Jesus prepared His disciples for His sacrificial death and resurrection, He promised to send the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, to dwell within them forever. While earthly relationships and family may fail or pass away, God's abiding presence watches over His children continuously. True love for God is expressed by keeping His commandments and demonstrating love and care for others, much like the Good Samaritan. The Holy Spirit acts as our guide, comforter, teacher, and source of strength, enabling believers to overcome loneliness and live faithfully.
