Not Alone

You are not alone!  If there is one message that comes to us over and over in the Bible, it is that one message ringing clear-- you are not alone!  We were not created to be alone, but to have fellowship with God (Genesis 1,2).  And when we blew it and failed, God came looking for us (Genesis 3).  Even when friends forsake us, God is there (Job).  God's Word lights even the darkest path (Psalm 119).  Even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we may have peace because God is with us --God's hand holds ours (Psalm 23).  Jesus came that we might know forgiveness and reconciliation with God (John 3.16).  And Jesus very words give us this blessed promise of the Spirit's presence.
 
(Verse of the week)
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever --the Spirit of truth . . . You know Him, for that Spirit lives with you and will be in you.  I will not leave you alone . . .Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you.  (John 14:16-18,27)
 
(Prayer of the week)
Gracious Heavenly Father, thank you that you love me and your presence is always with me.  Help me to open my heart to you and your great love.  May your love touch and change my life and may I be a blessing to others, through your power and to your glory, Amen.
 
Have a great week!
-Pastor TJ
