Matthew 28:20 (NIV) "20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Yesterday I shared with you about my grandson looking for me and feeling alone when he couldn't find me. This is something we as people never out grow. No one wants to find themselves alone. However, many of us are or will be alone at some point in our lives. Finding ourselves with no one around could happen because a loved one dies, divorce occurs, or even temporary separation for reasons such as war. Situations may vary on why we end up alone but we must remember God is with us. He promises never to leave us or forsake us as we read yesterday. In the above verse God goes further and reassures us He is with us even until the very end of the age.
I like the above quote by Lysa. When we drawl close to Him He can help us separate truth from feelings. So often we feel alone when in reality if we would just get quiet and wait upon the Lord He would assure us He is there. Sometimes loneliness shouts one thing but reality whispers another. We as Christians have to learn to listen to His still small voice in a world that shouts all sorts on contrary messages to us. At times like these it is up to us to get into the word and let the word get into us.
We can feel alone in a crowded room. Sometimes it is not the absence of people that causes us to feel alone but the absence of the Holy Spirit. When we are not intimate with someone for long periods of time then a sense of distance arises. No one went anywhere but we feel separated. What do we do? We begin to spend time together again and share conversation about how we feel and what we think and the closeness returns.
The Holy Spirit wants to be close to you today. Right now spend a little time with Him. Remember He is a person and He wants to be close to you.
