No Longer Alone~Emmanuel God is with us.

Matthew 1:22–23. The Gospel of Matthew cites the prophecy of the sign of Immanuel from Isaiah, using a Greek translation rather than the original Hebrew. ... 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

When we think we are all alone and no one understands, we can rest assured there is someone. This someone is the who, "Get's it". He "got it", from the very beginning. He too, felt all alone. He paid the ultimate price of loneliness, so that you and I, would never have to be alone. Loneliness can manifest when we are in a room full of people, or when we are alone. The difference is loneliness doesn't really have anything to do with being alone, rather it is an emotion. Usually people feel alone when they have no purpose in life, or they have lost their purpose. Many in our country feel alone, and so much so, that suicide is the number killer of teenagers, and white men between 40 and 65 years of age.

Jesus is as close as the mention of His name. If you are fighting depression or know someone who is encourage them to listen to praise and worship music to minister to their soul. Then purchase a Bible for them or encourage them to read 1 John, 2 John and 3 John, over and over again. Check on them often and ask them about what they are reading. Finally, see if you can get them to go do something for someone else. Visit the elderly. Take a trip to a Nursing Home. Go feed people at the local Soup Kitchen or Homeless Shelter. Bake with them or go shopping for a single mom. God is with us but sometimes others just need to see Jesus with skin on, and that my friend is the Jesus inside of you and me.
