Alone
In a brief note from one believer to another we find a very remarkable truth:
I am a handicapped person in a wheelchair. I am often very lonely, although I amneveralone! God the Father and the Lord Jesus are always with me, though I don’t have a lot of people to talk to.
Yes, we all feel loneliness from time to time, and the Lord felt it often when He was here on earth. As the time approached for Him to go to the cross, and knowing that even His disciple would forsake Him, He said, “Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave Me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me” (John 16:32). We also read of Him prophetically, “I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top” (Psalm 102:7).
So, the next time you feel alone or forsaken by friends or family, remember, the Lord knows how you feel, and He has promised, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5). You may feel alone, but you never are alone.
