You are not alone.
Yes. You.
The one who sits up at night and hears the echoes of their fears and failures in your head.
The one who faces anxiety, depression, grief, and the dark unknown all by yourself.
The one who has created the problems that you face.
The one who faces uncountable problems that you did not.
The one who wonders if you are loved.
The one who is scared that all of the suffering is not worth it.
The one who feels all alone.
The one who feels that no one else cares or understands.
Yes. You.
You have no idea how not alone you are.
You have no idea the love that God has for you.
I believe that when we pray for help, God sends angels disguised as people. I mean, they are people, but they are doing the work of angels. So often, we let the voice of our enemy build walls around our hearts. We think we're keeping out the hurt, but what we're really doing is preventing help from reaching us.
You are not alone.
There are 8 billion of us. 8 billion! And more every day.
You are the least solitary creature on the planet. The only place you are alone is in your own head, and that is a choice you have made based on bad information.
You are not alone.
We are not alone.
Drop your guard.Put aside your pride.Let go of your ego.
Let God's love into your life, and He will send an army to you. Ask for help, and it will be given to you.
I say this as someone who has experienced the darkness, the isolation, and the fear.
I also say this as someone who has felt what power God's love commands. I have seen it at work in the hearts of those around me.
God sends angels.
Do not give up.
You are not alone.
There is help out there.
More than you can imagine.
Whole battalions who would come to our aid if we could only find the courage to ask.
You are not alone.
We are not alone.
We never were.
Have a great week.
Be safe.Be blessed.
Much love!
