My Beloved Child

My Beloved Child

Comfortless? Abandoned? No, I would never leave you that way.
You’re My child, and I love you. I’m watching over you each day.
Forsaken? Defenseless? Impossible - that could never be.
I’m with you every moment; oh, My dear child, can’t you see?

I will never leave you, nor forsake you - you have that promise from My heart.
You are walking close beside me, from you I will never, ever depart.
I will carry you safely in my arms, and beside you I will stand;
I could never leave you; oh, My child - you are graven upon my hands!

Though you struggle in the darkness, troubled at the trials you see,
I could never leave you comfortless; oh, My child, you matter to Me.
You are precious in My sight - I will never leave you alone;
I saved you by My might, and I will bring you safely home.

You are My child - that’s a promise, from that instant you knelt to pray;
When you received My Son as your Saviour, I adopted you that day.
Comfortless? Abandoned? No - from that moment on you were with Me.
I’m your Father - when you became My child, I adopted you for eternity!

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

Comfortless here is the Greek word orphanos. God will never leave you comfortless like a parent without a child.

Isaiah 49:15-16 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Ephesians 1:4-6 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Romans 8:15-16 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Abba means “Daddy.” When you trust the Lord Jesus Christ alone for salvation, believing that He shed His blood for you on the cross, that He died and rose again, God becomes your heavenly Father and adopts you as His child. Then He becomes your Abba, Father.

Galatians 4:4-6 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
