Let's be honest. How many of us feel lonely or alone these days? Stuck at home, unable to go places or see people. This virus is sure weighing on people. If you are able to go out, you have to wear a mask, so you still don't really see people like you used to. You feel like you are the only one going through this. You feel invisible. Nobody notices you anymore. With the mask and all the restrictions, you just kind of fade into the background!
Well have I got good news for you. You are not alone. Jesus is right there with you. Sitting beside you. Standing beside you. Holding your hand, comforting you.
Deuteronomy 31:8 Amplified Bible
8 It is the Lord who goes before you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or abandon you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
The Lord will not leave you. That promise is true. People will abandon you all the time, The Lord never will.
Matthew 28:20 Amplified Bible
20 I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”
Psalm 118:8-16 The Message
8 Far better to take refuge in God than trust in people; Far better to take refuge in God than trust in celebrities.
There is a song out by Zach Williams called "There Was Jesus" It's a song about Jesus always being there. No matter what happens.
Every time I tried to make it on my own, and instead fell flat on my face - there was Jesus.
When the life that I built comes crashing to the ground - there was Jesus.
No matter what kind of pain you have gone through. Loss of a loved one. Divorce, bankruptcy, anything - there was Jesus.
Through fires or floods - there was Jesus.
I think that you get the point. No matter what low point you have been at, or the highest point you have been. Jesus has been with you, every step of the way! Even when you didn't know it.
I pray that as we continue through our lives, that we feel Jesus warm embrace more than ever before. Telling us not to worry. He is with us.
