Never Alone
May 3, 2011

Having played intercollegiate soccer, I’ve never lost my love for “The Beautiful Game.” I especially enjoy watching the English Premier League. One reason is the skill and speed with which the game is played there. Also, I love the way the fans sing in support of their beloved “sides.” For instance, Liverpool has for years had “You’ll Never Walk Alone” as its theme. How moving to hear 50,000 fans rise as one to sing the lyrics of that old standard! It’s an encouragement to players and fans alike that together they will see each other through to the end. Walk alone? Never.

This sentiment has meaning for everyone. Because each of us is made for community, isolation and loneliness are among the most painful of human experiences. During painful times, our faith is vital.

The child of God never needs to fear abandonment. Even if people turn on us, friends forsake us, or circumstances separate us from loved ones, we are never alone. God has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5). This is not just a nice tune or clever lyrics offering an empty sentiment. It is the promise of God Himself to those who are the objects of His love. He is there—and He isn’t going away.

With Christ, you will never walk alone.

God’s unseen presence comforts me,
I know He’s always near;
And when life’s storms besiege my soul,
He says, “My child, don’t fear.” —D. De Haan

God’s presence with us is one of His greatest presents to us.

Read: Hebrews 13:1-8

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” —Hebrews 13:5

Bible in a year:
1 Kings 14-15; Luke 22:21-46

Hey, Conor! (((hugs)))

I’m doin’ good...and yourself? What kind of chatter did you
hear today about the “big” kill?

[PROCON]

Evening Taz (((SLUGS)))

You Libby's nurse tonight?!

[AZamericonnie]

And a very good evening to you as well Conor! *hugs*

Roma tomatoes were on crazy sale at the farmers market this evening so I going to go pull out the dehydrator & get started.

Will check in laters....unless breaking news happens again! LOL

[luvie]

Awesome story, News Gal! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

And tied for first....Nana Hope and Mac each grab a gold!!

[ConorMacNessa]

Doing great, thanks!

I heard a lot of left-wing drivel from my young colleagues at work - I fear they're beyond saving. They way ppl are talking you'd think Ozero made the kill shot himself. I guess it will take awhile for the other shoe to drop - bad things are in the offing - you can be sure that the Islamists will exact revenge.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

I just bought my tomato plants yesterday - we're obviously on a totally different growing cycle here than you are!

Anyone heard anything about SandRat?

[luvie]

Indeed, sometimes stupid abounds in the workplace! Maybe when
they finally grow up and have to really deal with reality....

Meanwhile, I know it’s gonna get rough, but our guys are on
high alert now, I would imagine. They know the drill...as you
are so well aware of! :)

[TASMANIANRED]

Working tonight.

[TASMANIANRED]

Mine are water logged.. I don’t know if they will make it or not.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Taz!

We've been passing like ships in the night lately - nice to make contact again!
