All the disciples of Jesus promised that they would not leave Him. Peter even pushed his commitment to the extreme when he told the Master that he was ready to die with Him. They all eventually backtracked when it mattered most. Peter denied Him, swearing on top of it that he never knew Jesus. Whether in ministry, business or even fraternal relationships, people will sometimes exit your life. That may hurt sometimes, but that is not the greatest ill that can befall you. In one of my quotable quotes, I observed that if men leave you, it may hurt; but if God leaves you it will destroy. Again, if people leave you it can be a momentary setback, but if God leaves you it is a disaster. If people leave you, know that you are in good company; they left Jesus too.

if men leave you, it may hurt; but if God leaves you it will destroy… if a company leaves your life, other company might be waiting in the wing to come in. The only irreplaceable company is God. He is the one that we must court at all times.

Jesus knew that the disciples would leave Him at difficult moments but He was never perturbed by that fact. His strong consolation was the abiding presence of the Father. “And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” John‬ 8‬:29‬ NKJV‬‬. We were never given a promise that people will not leave or forsake us; it is only God who said He would be with us till the end of time. Know also that if a company leaves your life, other company might be waiting in the wing to come in. The only irreplaceable company is God. He is the one that we must court at all times.
