                        He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
                                                                                       ~ Hebrews 13:5

  "Several times in the  Scriptures the Lord has said this. Let us never harbor a doubt of it. In itself the promise is especially emphatic. In the Greek it has five negatives, each one definitely shutting out the possibility of the Lord's ever lasting leaving one of His people.
  this priceless Scripture does not promise us exemption from trouble, but it does secure us against desertion. We may be called to traverse strange ways, but we shall always have our Lord's company, assistance, and provision. His favor is better than fortune.
  We ought surely to be content with  such things as we have, for he who has God has more than all the world besides. What can we have beyond the Infinite?
  If God says He will never leave you nor forsake you, be much in prayer for grace, that you may never leave Him, nor even for a moment forsake His ways." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
