I’ll be with you Always

I’ll Be With You Always is a deeply personal, reflective spiritual memoir that details author Sheretha Lavon Hafford Stewart’s journey through grief, physical illness, family heartbreak, and profound faith transformation. Written as a narrative of surrender, the book outlines how personal brokenness and life’s trials serve as a crucible to strip away worldly desires and cultivate a pure, intimate relationship with God. Key Themes & Core Message The Refining Power of Suffering: Stewart shares her experiences navigating the loss of her father and sister, along with her personal battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and physical disability. Rather than viewing these hardships as a loss of God's favor, she frames them as the "furnace of affliction" used to refine her spirit, build endurance, and draw her back to her "First Love". Dying to Self & True Rebirth: The memoir explores the transition from a superficial faith—where one seeks only God’s physical gifts and material success—to a mature, spiritual walk focused on total self-denial and unconditional surrender. Stewart emphasizes that being "born again" requires daily spiritual renewal and accepting God's will above earthly desires. Intercessory Prayer & Unconditional Love: Emphasizing that "the kingdom of God is Love", the book highlights Stewart’s calling to intercessory prayer and weeping for others ("sowing in tears"). She urges readers to replace judgment, defense, and anger toward others with authentic, restorative love. Rest, Peace, and God's Ever-Presence: Through direct spiritual reflections, prophetic words, and scriptural anchors (such as Psalm 42:8 and 2 Corinthians 12:9), Stewart delivers a message of comfort. She reminds readers that regardless of the severity of the storm, God is an ever-present Father, Husband, and Comforter who promises never to leave or fail His children.
