never alone
Mar 14th, 2010 by Nathanael
One of the beautiful things about this journey of faith is that we are never alone. Our God and Redeemer is with us every step of the way. And when we are tempted by our adversary and by our flesh, He gives grace and strength to overcome the temptation. Yet when we stumble and sin and act in a way that does not reflect who we are in Him, He is still right there with us to pick us up and to continue walking with us.
If you have sinned, and you cannot tell anyone about it for fear they will not understand and they will disown you, know that our Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you. He knows the deepest, darkest secret that haunts you. And His love is greater than anything you have done. May this love give you the strength to overcome the sin which so easily entangles you.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. (John 10.27-29)
May you listen to His voice and follow Jesus. And may you find others who will share this burden with you. You were not designed to do this alone.
Shalom, dear friend.
