\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Standing all alone on a cold, dark, night\u2026<\/h6>\n
Alone in the dark, shadows and light<\/h6>\n
Companions these\u2026no thoughts, no needs\u2026<\/h6>\n
Something or someone pulls at my heart\u2026<\/h6>\n
A perception I sense, here, alone, in the dark\u2026<\/h6>\n
No, you can\u2019t see me you can\u2019t touch me\u2026but I\u2019m here just the same\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
In the old hymns you\u2019re remembering in all those old songs\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
You\u2019re not alone I\u2019ve been with you all along\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
In the stillness of the night when you wonder if everything will be alright<\/em><\/h6>\n
Sitting at your breakfast table mulling over things out of sight\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
That gentle nudge is me, telling you, don\u2019t be afraid, you\u2019re not alone; I\u2019ve been with you all along\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
I\u2019m here, son, daughter, living right inside of you, you\u2019re never alone.<\/em><\/h6>\n
In the quiet of the early morning you will hear me whisper\u2026start your day with a song of praise let me tell you how to pray\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Open your heart; open your mind and listen, listen, listen\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Hear what I have to say\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
\u201cI\u2019m telling you these things while I\u2019m still living with you. The Friend, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will make everything plain to you. He will remind you of all the things I have told you. I\u2019m leaving you well and whole.<\/em><\/h6>\n
That\u2019s my parting gift to you. Peace. I don\u2019t leave you the way you\u2019re used to being left\u2014feeling abandoned, bereft. So don\u2019t be upset. Don\u2019t be distraught. \u201cYou\u2019ve heard me tell you, \u2018I\u2019m going away, and I\u2019m coming back.\u2019 If you loved me, you would be glad that I\u2019m on my way to the Father because the Father is the goal and purpose of my life.<\/em><\/h6>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve told you this ahead of time, before it happens, so that when it does happen, the confirmation will deepen your belief in me. I\u2019ll not be talking with you much more like this because the chief of this godless world is about to attack. But don\u2019t worry\u2014he has nothing on me, no claim on me. But so the world might know how thoroughly I love the Father, I am carrying out my Father\u2019s instructions right down to the last detail.<\/em><\/h6>\n
\u00a0<\/em>\u201cGet up. Let\u2019s go. It\u2019s time to leave here.\u201d John 14:26-31 The Message (MSG)Bible<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n
