Not So Lonely

   I'm constantly griping about how I never get to be with my friends. It's an awful habit. Why be so negative when there's so, so much for which to be thankful? I often forget how blessed I am when I'm so busy groaning about how terrible my life is. But, in the midst of my bellyaching, today, the Lord reminded me that I have the perfect companion. Jesus.
   Whenever I feel lonely and unwanted, He reminds me of how Jesus died for me. Jesus died so that He could have a personal relationship with each and every single one of us. Don't forget that. Jesus is our best Friend, our Teacher, Healer, Savior, and Lord. He is always with us.
   No matter how many people have left you, Jesus will never leave. He is constantly by our side. It is written right in Hebrews 13:5, "For He Himself has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.'"
   Jesus is all we need. He is more than enough. Whatever it is we may be going through, He is sufficient. Our God loves us, because He is Love. There is absolutely nothing that we could ever do to make God stop loving us. Wow. Talk about a perfect Friend. Jesus is the friend that will never leave.

Faith That He is Near Always

   One, of many things, for which I am very  grateful, is that the Lord is always near me. He is never far away. I can call on Him through prayer, and He will always listen. He genuinely cares for what I am worried about. No prayer is too small or unimportant, because we are God's children and He loves us all.    Call upon the Lord in times of need, and in times of joyfulness. He wants to commune with us. He desires our yearning for His presence. When we're longing for that "something more" He is the One that can satisfy. He is gentle and loving. He wants to be with you more than you can even imagine.    "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." ( Psalm 145:18 ) It pleases Him when we reach out to Him in desperation. Because He is The Creator of all things that exist, when He is our passionate desire, When He is the One thing we need , that's when we are complete. That is when we have peace, joy, and abundant life.

I Loved You at Your Darkest

I Loved You at Your Darkest: "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus." (Matthew 17:5-8) In the first few verses of Matthew chapter seventeen, Jesus led Peter, James, and John up to a mountain top. It was just the four of them, or so the disciples thought. Whilst they were walking Jesus was "transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." (Matthew 17:2) Today, this passage is really speaking to me. I feel like the Lord is using this passage as a reminder that sometimes we must fall "facedown on the ground" in complete awe of His glory and surrender to His mysterious yet miraculous ways. A
