Never Alone

After almost ten years it never gets any easier. As time continues moving forward and holidays come and go I find myself identifying with the christmas character Scrooge. "taken but yet alone" is what best sums it up. The internal war attempts to consume my thoughts as I fight off the ideas of "what's wrong with me?" "why am I spending another holiday alone?" "I am sure I wouldn't have fun anyways". The bottom line is, there is nothing wrong with me, I AM NEVER ALONE, and I can have fun no matter where I am at or who I am with. The Lord has never left me or forsaken me. Instead of wasting time on worldly emotional hurts of feeling alone, one must focus on their true purpose and who has never left them ever. I can't promise the feelings or thoughts will cease, but ones character and self esteem strengthen in order to fight without fear of losing. Matt Redman clearly defines the comfort we must find to undoubtedly know we are truly never alone. "Standing on this mountain top Looking just how far we've come Knowing that for every step You were with us Kneeling on this battle ground Seeing just how much You've done Knowing every victory Is Your power in us Scars and struggles on the way But with joy our hearts can say Yes, our hearts can say Never once did we ever walk alone Never once did You leave us on our own You are faithful, God, You are faithful Never once did we ever walk alone Never once did You leave us on our own You are faithful, God, You are faithful You are faithful, God, You are faithful Scars and struggles on the way But with joy our hearts can say Never once did we ever walk alone Carried by Your constant grace Held within Your perfect peace Never once, no, we never walk alone Never once did we ever walk alone Never once did You leave us on our own You are faithful, God, You are faithful Every step we are breathing in Your grace Evermore we'll be breathing out Your praise You are faithful, God, You are faithful You are faithful, God, You are faithful" In return we must be still and know in our hearts that he is faithful so in return we must also believe and be faithful.
