In the final chapter of his life, the Apostle Paul doesn’t write theology. He writes names. Demas left. Mark was restored. Alexander opposed. Only Luke stayed. And when no one showed up to defend him, Paul wrote these powerful words: “The Lord stood with me. ”This message is for anyone who has:• Felt abandoned• Been misunderstood• Taken criticism personally• Watched people walk away• Wondered if it was their fault Not every departure is your failure. Not every relationship gets restored. You don’t have to defend yourself against every accusation. Sometimes finishing faithful isn’t about who stayed. It’s about Who stood with you.📖 Scripture:2 Timothy 4:9–181 John 2:15–16Mark 2If this encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear they are not alone.
