He's Always With You

Did you know that there's a difference between being alone and loneliness?  Being alone or aloneness doesn't feel like you're alienated or being outcast.  Being alone isn't always painful.  Sometimes it's good for you.  Many of us thrive on being alone; we like our solitude.  It gives us time to spend with God, with ourselves, to recharge.

Loneliness; however, is painful - both emotionally and physically.  Even in a group of family or friends, we can feel lonely.  Often times, we feel isolated; we feel like we don't belong.  And this feeling of isolation can often lead to depression or self-pity.  When you're feeling this way, turn to God...talk to Him.  Trust that He's always with you.

Loneliness is an illusion or a false sense for those who belong to God.  But the devil works hard to cloud your awareness of God's presence in your life.  It's important that you recognize this and resist his attacks.  (James 4:7-8)  Fight him with God's word, with God's promises.  And God promises that He is always with you.  (Matthew 28:20)

You are never alone.  God works with you in every situation in your life.  Let God's peace protect your mind and heart. 

"...For the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”
