John 14:16-18 | I will not leave your orphaned

Jesus said, "I will not leave you orphaned." These powerful words, recorded in the bible, are not a metaphor but a promise of His unending presence, reinforced by the coming of the Holy Spirit. In this Lectio Divina, we sit with this scripture, reflecting on the unwavering faith and the comforting presence of God it assures us, providing deep inspiration for prayer and strengthening our Christianity. This reflection is from Volume I of Held: A Daily Devotional on Fear, Trust, and the Nearness of God — launching Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 2026.
