John 14:18

"I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you."
John 14:18


A good thing to remember today: no matter how bad things get, or even what we have done wrong, God never leaves us without comfort and healing within reach.  And not even just *our* reach... he will come to *us*; that is an amazing promise.  We never have to be alone, or in pain, when God is there.  I think it is important to remember too, that he won't *leave* us comfortless.  We might get there, and feel that, but God's promise is that it will end... that there is hope, that he will be there when he is needed.  No matter where we are on the path of life, if we have gone 300 miles an hour away from God for years... we aren't far enough away for his comfort not to reach us.  And we don't have to hike all the way back alone.  God overcomes time, and space, and distance.  All that is required of us is to look: turn around and look in the right direction, toward the correct goal.  And his love and peace and comfort are there.  Even when we are hopelessly lost... God always knows the way.
