I might be the only person in this boat, but coronavirus is ruining my social life. I was at Walmart last night and I ran into one of my best friends Logan. We only talked for about five minutes, but it wasn’t until the short conversation that I realized how lonely I’ve been feeling. I haven’t seen my family in months. I haven’t seen my friends in months. It’s been miserable. And I haven’t realized it, but I’ve been feeling really alone. I mean, sure, it’s been subconsciously in the back of my mind this whole time. But until I saw my friend and talked with him for five minutes, it wasn’t fully recognized. Being away from all my friends and family has been hard. But I realized this morning while I was reading my Bible that I’ve never been alone. God has been by my side this whole time. Even for the past two and a half months when I’ve been stuck at home without any human contact outside of my foster family. God has been here. And since I understand how difficult it can be to remember that, I’m going to give you three scriptures that will remind you that you’re never alone.
Matthew 28:20 I am with you always, even to the end of the age This scripture is written in red in the Bible. That means it came directly from the mouth of Jesus. He spoke those words over 2,000 years ago, but they still remain true to this day. Jesus promises to be with us always. There are no limits or stipulations attached to this. He is always with us. Period. Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you. No matter what we go through, we have no reason to fear because God promises to always be with us. Especially during uncertain times like now, it can be so easy to forget that we’re not alone. When the world is suffering from a crisis, it’s not always easy to see God in the midst of it all. But He promises that He is always with us. Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of good courage … for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. Friends and family may forsake you, but God never will. We are never alone because God won’t ever leave. I’ve had my fair share of situations where I felt like God wasn’t there. But He always was. And He always will be. No matter what. So be strong. Have courage. You’ll never be alone. It’s not easy being stuck at home alone. But we’re never really alone. Even when we feel like no one is around. Even when we can’t talk to or see our friends or family. God makes several promises that He will always be there for and with you. He will never leave you. You are never truly alone.
