NEVER ALONE

Hebrews 13:5   

… be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

There are two different types of loneliness that we as people can experience. The first type is when we are truly alone, with no one around and we feel that we cannot be happy unless we are in the presence of other people. The other type is when we are in a large group of people, and may even have many in that group we would call friends, yet we do not feel fulfilled by their company, and still feel as though we are alone.

When we look at these two types of loneliness we realize that they have something in common. This is that we are longing for something that can only be granted by God. That would be security. We try so hard to find security and strength in ourselves or in others. We forget that we are finite and temporary beings, and are only able to understand a very small part of God’s huge plan. We get frustrated or even mad at God when things get tough, because we don’t understand why God allows certain situations to happen. We must learn to trust and find full security in the one who knows all. He understands everything, loves each of his children more than we can fathom, and promises to never leave nor forsake us.

To force ourselves to rest in God’s perfect security is humanly impossible. But if you read near the end of the verse written above, you see that we have a Helper. We have the privilege to go boldly before our great and powerful God, and ask Him to help us, to fully rely on Him, so that we may have nothing to fear. When we allow God to teach us to trust him, our loneliness will be needless. We will be able to know the comfort of security, found in the Master of all that ever was, is, or is to come. He didn’t make His promise “I will never leave nor forsake you” for nothing!! He meant it!

 We are NEVER alone.
