Strong Tower

Our Father always says that He will never leave us or forsake us. Even when we feel as if we are alone, we never are. One of the things I struggle with is being alone. I'm not clingy by any stretch of the imagination, but being alone is something I have a hard time with. It seems that in my life the only one I can trust is my Father. Everything and everyone in this world will let me down. Maybe I expect too much of people. There have been things in my life that have left me so weakened and mistrustful, I wonder if I'll be alone for the rest of my life because of the walls I've put up to protect myself. People might read that and say "I would never let somebody down!" You may not intend to, but compared to the love of God and His strength to carry us in our brokenness...honestly, we can't really compete.

We're humans. We're given free will, and will instinctively do what's best for us. I'm not knocking that--I'm guilty of it as well. It's such a comfort to know that when I feel abandoned Christ is my shelter. My shield. He's the home I could never deserve. For that, I'll forever sing praise unto Him who gives me life. I'm a prince of the King. Whenever I'm abandoned or ignored by friends, or let down by someone, Christ has my back. It's not even something to joke about. Experience has shown me that time and time again, Christ is faithful. Friends? Maybe. Family? A lot of the time they are. Jesus? Always and forever. As I sit here writing this, knowing that shakes me to my soul. No matter WHAT, I'm going to be okay. When I've had days like today where I feel miserable and alone He is faithful in reminding me that I need nothing but Him. There's nothing that can take that away from me. This world can take away my money, my family, my land, my friends, my self-worth, but they will never take me away from God. God didn't send His son into the world to condemn it--He sent His Son to deliver us from death.
