Title: The Joy of Knowing That You Are Never Alone
Text:
Hebrews 13:5 (ESV)
5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
Observation:
The answer to loneliness for the believer is the presence of the Lord in our life. Notice His promise in the latter part of the above verse, "I will never leave you nor forsake you".
There is never a time that the child of God is alone. The triune God is always present in the lives of God's children. Notice that the Bible says:
John 14:21 (ESV)
21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."
John 14:23 (ESV)
Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
John 14:16 (ESV)
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,
If you are lonely today, go back to Calvary where you first saw the light. The Christ you met at the cross of Calvary is as real today as He was the day you invited Him to come into your heart. Draw near to Him; you will find that He has been there all the time. When Jesus comes into our heart He comes to stay. He has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you".
I have been down, I have been low; almost under the ground, but I have never been without hope or without help. There are some things I do not understand. However, I don't live on answers; I live on the promises of God.
The promise of His abiding presence is all I need in life and in death. Think about it; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit of God living in you. O my, heaven came down and filled my soul.
Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so grateful that since Jesus came into my heart that I have had the blessed assurance of my Savior that I will never be alone. Yes, I thank the Lord every day for His abiding presence in my life. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
Since Jesus came into my heart!
Since Jesus came into my heart!
Floods of joy o'er my soul like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
