I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. – Hebrews 13:5

Every man who is eminently useful in the Church will know seasons when as the champion of Israel he must go forth alone. This, however, is compensated by stronger faith, and the moral grandeur of solitary heroism. But what must it be to be some poor wretch whose parents have long since been buried; who has lost his most distant relatives; who, passing along the street remembers the name of one who was once his father’s friend, knocks at the door, and is repulsed; recollects another-and this is his last hope-one he played with in his infancy-stands at that door asking for charity and is bidden to go his way, and paces the cold November streets while the rain is pouring down, feeling to his utter dismay that no friend breathes for him? Should he return to his own parish it would be like going to his own dungeon, and if he enters the workhouse no eye there will flash sympathy upon him!.. Our Lord and Master was brought to this state, and knew what it was to be forsaken, for He had no friends left. “He that eateth bread with Me hath lifted up his heel against Me.” “All the disciples forsook Him and fled.” Brethren, many saints have lost all their friends, but have bravely borne the trial, for turning their eye to heaven, they have felt that though without friends they were still befriended. They have heard the voice of Jesus say, “I will not leave you orphans; I will come unto you;” and, made strong by Divine friendship, they have felt that they were not utterly bereaved. But to be forsaken of God! Oh, may you and I never know it! To be without a friend in heaven; to look to that throne of glory and to see the blackness of darkness there; to turn to mercy and receive a frown; to fly to love and receive a rebuke; to turn to God and find that His ear is heavy that He will not hear, and His hand restrained that He will not help-oh! this is terror, terror heaped on terror, to be thus forsaken!~ C.H.
