You are not alone!

I work part time at a tutoring center outside my regular teaching job. For some reason that day, the students on my schedule were late showing up for their session. My coworker next to me asked if I wanted to start a session with one of her students.

I responded with a "yes" and jokingly said, " I am lonely over here." The little girl she had chosen hurried over. I had worked with her before and she was very quiet and kind. As small and cute as she was...she peered over her pink glasses, looked at me with a serious,concerned look, and begin to speak.... She said, "You don't say that. No, don't you feel that way. You are never alone. God is always with you. I know because I accepted Jesus Christ into my life and I know."

My coworker next to me and I were like "Wow" in astonishment as she had said it with great conviction, compassion, and force. I stated,         " You are right. I am never alone. You go girl."

I had to pause and think...

What about those moments we feel lonely and incomplete? What about those moments of solitude when we feel like God has forgotten about us?
It is human nature to feel lonely, but when I remember that I am not really alone then it does something to my demeanor. My head is no longer hung down, but raised up in knowing that God will never leave us despite challenges or imperfections.

Those words speak to me. "You are not alone. God is with you."

I do have moments where I feel lonely, but it is okay because I know God has so much more for me and he does for you too.

Thank you Lord for reminding me today that I am never alone.
