We leave the Lord all the time.

It is the Lord who promised, “I will never leave or forsake you.”

It is the Lord who promised, “I will never leave or forsake you.”

And he hasn't.... That's what makes this a such a meaningful story of human endurance.....He is with us in the Eucharist, forever, as he promised.....

Right. I think it’s important to know God will never leave us even when we leave him sometimes.

It’s a heavy burden that one can never fulfill to put “I will never leave him” on yourself.
