Just because it's there, DOESN'T make you believe !

(Pause and think of that)

~ AUSTRALIA February 16 ~

EVEN when I face dark situations, I trust that You still walk by my side. Today, Lord, I need courage to step forward. Lift my heart with trust in You. In Jesus name. Amen.

ALONE ?

"IF your'e ever lonely, your'e not alone...

So many people all around us and we still feel lonely. NOT all the time, BUT sometimes. We reach out to find someone who understands or who cares or who'll just listen, and we find no-one there.

All sorts of things contribute to it: old age, unemployment, immigration or divorce. ULTIMATELY however, we all face the reality that no-one else really understands us. No-one can know our thoughts, no-one knows the deep joys or the dark secrets. Not ever ourselves, fully.

THIS is the reality. ULTIMATELY we are all alone, it's only in the quiet or hard times that we really feel it.

But that's only half the story. The Bible says:

You (God) created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139, verse 13. - 'GOOD NEWS BIBLE'.

WHEN I am ready to give up, he (God) knows what I should do... WHEN I look beside me, I see that there is no one to help me, no one to protect me. No one cares for me, Lord I cry to you for help; you Lord, are my protector, you are all I want in this life. Psalm 142, verses 3 to 5. - 'GOOD NEWS BIBLE'.

"Do not be worried and upset," Jesus told them. "Believe in God and believe also in me." John Ch. 14, verse 1. - 'GOOD NEWS BIBLE'."
