You Are Not Alone

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (Deut 6:4-5 KJV)

Lonely, frustrated, tired?

Throughout my life I have spent a lot of time alone mainly due to either my husband's or my careers. I have often been asked if it bothers me to be alone. The answer is no. I am never alone. I have lived long enough to know that there is One who loves me more than all others. He is with me always. He is there for you always.

When we find ourselves tired and weary; lonely or frustrated, there is one we can turn to. Love the Lord your God, who loves you, with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your might even when you think you don't need Him. That is when you really need Him the most. He is there for you.

Good Shepherd

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." (John 10:11 NIV) 

The shepherd cares for and watches his or her flock to safeguard it from anything that might seek to destroy the sheep. It can be a very lonely position to be out in the fields alone watching over all of those sheep that could easily wander off and get lost; fall off a cliff; or be devoured by a wolf. 

How much lonelier was our Good Shepherd while here on earth? No one; but the Father whose purpose was for Jesus to lay down his life for us understood his purpose.

His purpose was solely about his flock of sheep. His purpose was that we might be safe and be saved from our own sins; from wandering off where we do not belong; from being eaten by ravaging wolves and wily coyotes. His purpose was to care for the sheep and to protect us.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd and he laid down his life for you. May God help you to keep from following the nasty wolves in sheep's clothing. May God care for you and protect you from all that is evil through the blood of the one who gave his life that you might live, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

You Are Not Alone

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life." John 3:16 NIV

God loves you. No matter how alone you feel in the world, there is One who will always love you. Such good news for a sin sick world!

Depression runs rampant in this world. It is a sadness to witness those who already suffer from depression often made even more depressed by the bullying and self-serving tactics of others. The sadness overwhelms so many of the people that I know and care about. They feel alone and unloved. If only their ears and eyes and hearts could be opened to understand how much God loves them and how much the people in whom Christ abides loves them. They are not alone; but, they do not comprehend that.

Sadly, even as Christ is at work in and through his followers so the devil is at work in and through many spreading lies and hatred and anger and gossip and greed. All these things lead to depression. They can lead to death. But, do not despair. Hear the Word of the Lord. God loves you. You are not alone. Those in whom He abides love you. You do not have to be alone or lonely. Seek out the brothers and sisters in whom Christ abides that you might hear and know this great love that God has for you. He loves you and your children and all whom you love so much that He was willing to give his only begotten Son for you.

May God grant that you be filled with the knowledge of His abiding presence through the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord.
