Dear Young Christian:
I wonder how many lonely people there really are out there. I am sitting in the business lounge at the Toronto Canada International Airport, waiting for an evening flight to Chicago. As I look around and try to read people, I suspect that there are more empty aching hearts within these walls than anyone would care to admit. To be quite honest, I often find myself feeling alone in a crowd.
However, as a child of God we never have to feel alone. Our God is always available, always beside us, and always interested in every detail of our life. Here are some confirmations of that from Scripture: “My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest” (Exodus 33:14). “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20). “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5).
So you don’t need to feel alone as you start out on another Monday morning. Go forth with a sense of His presence and you will have a happy, profitable week.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
