You're Not Alone

Deuteronomy 31:6
New International Version (NIV)
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”


At times do you feel like you're all alone??

When family and friends turn their back on you do you feel as if you have no one??

I can remember a time when I was a child... My mother was a single parent so that made our life a struggle! The only time my father would come around was when He had an "appointment" to give me and my sisters a whipping. Well that's what it seemed like to us. I just didn't understand and I felt as if life was not worth living. Plenty of times I tried committing suicide just to get away from the fear, the hurt, & the pain! I felt so lonely! I felt as if God dropped me off in a desert and left me there! I didn't have NO ONE to depend on... I didn't know who I could go to! I prayed to the Lord and I literally felt Him holding me... I felt so much love, peace, & I felt so protected! One thing I've learned is that no matter how it may look... God have not left you! At some point in life it may seem like you're all alone but God is RIGHT THERE... I am a witness!! If you are in that place where you feel alone and discouraged I just want to encourage you on today... God is REAL... He is such an honest God & if He said He'll never leave you... You better believe He won't! Most of the things we go through is only to help someone else... God allows you to go through certain trials because he knows your strength. He knows you're strong enough to endure! The Lord truly will never put too much on us... Only what we can take! If you're going through & you feel as though it's too much... Let me remind you... YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST BUT ONLY WITH HIS STRENGTH! You can't do it on your own...So Allow Gods strength to be made perfect in your weakness! Cast your cares on HIM and He will sustain you! My yoke is easy and My burden is light says God... =) Trust Him!! He will not let you down... Smile and be encouraged!! When you have been tried you shall come out as pure Gold... Allow the POTTER(GOD) to shape you. Whew, you're going to be sooooooo much stronger and you're going to shine soooo much brighter when He gets down!! -Shalom
