John 14:18 (NIV) "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
Jesus spent 3 years with His disciples mentoring them, training them, preparing them, for when He would no longer be with them. However, He did not abandon them of leave them without a teacher or leave them as orphans. Jesus sent them the Holy Spirit that would not only be with them but be in them.
"I will not leave you orphaned," said Jesus, "I will come to you." This promise remains for you and for me. When it seems that the rubbish and the rain have destroyed the spark of faith within you, may the wind of the Spirit blow the dying embers to life again and again.
