ALL ALONE

“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Matthew 28:20 KJV

Have you ever felt all alone?  I felt that way many times until the day I read our Scripture verse.  Jesus is with us all the time no matter how many lies satan tells us.  It makes satan very angry when we serve Jesus and satan will do all he can do to discourage us so much we stop serving Jesus.

If we have invited Jesus into our heart to be our personal Saviour, we are not alone and will never be alone because He promised us that He is with us.  What a precious promise that is to our weary battle scarred heart.  O how Jesus loves you and me.  It is a privilege to be loved by the Saviour of the world.

No, we are never alone when Jesus comes into our heart.  However, Jesus was all alone when He was hanging on the cross with His blood flowing down His body.  Even God had to turn away from Him because Jesus had taken our sins on Him and God is a Holy God and He can’t look at sin.

If you ever feel nobody loves you or cares about you, remember the cross and all the pain and agony Jesus endured for you because He loves you so much.  If you are hurting, tell Jesus.  He will pick you up and carry you through all the dark valleys in your life until the pain goes away.

Heavenly Father, thank You for adopting me into Your family.  I pray that You will comfort and encourage all who are hurting and discouraged.  Please encourage our pastors and let them know how much You love them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
