“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5
Last year, my husband and I walked through a season of profound loss. Within a short time, we lost our jobs, our ministry, and our home. We had to move our three young children to a new area, leaving behind friends, church, and everything familiar. As we faced two family deaths, my husband traveled overseas for a month to be with his relatives. I felt like I was just trying to keep my head above water each day.
Simply surviving felt like all we could manage, but God was gently reminding me of His past faithfulness. I thought of the specific ways He’d provided for us financially, brought new friends into our lives, and guided us through challenges. Even when I couldn’t make sense of it all, I trusted that His presence would not change. Hebrews 13:5 became my anchor.
In God’s kindness, He allows challenges to draw us closer to Him, revealing His presence and comfort in ways we might never have experienced if life had stayed the same. We discover anew that His love remains steady through every transition and that His presence is exactly what we need most.
