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.
