I Will Never Leave You…

I will love you forever! Till death us do part! I will go to my grave loving you! I loved you yesterday. I love you today. I will love you tomorrow.

Have you ever been told these promises and declarations of love?

All sounds great until it isn’t! I can’t speak for 100% of the world’s population, but I can surmise that more of us have broken those promises and had those promises broken than those who haven’t.

We are human, mere flesh and blood with emotions that run hot and cold regularly! So, where does that leave us? Whom can we trust with our hearts if we can’t fully trust the fickle man?

God! That’s who!

Deuteronomy 31:8 ESV “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Hebrews 13:5 ESV “Keep your life free from money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you not forsake you.”

Joshua 1:5 ESV “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.”

Psalm 94:14 ESV “For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.”

Forsaken: adjective. “To be abandoned or deserted.” Oxford Languages

It’s hard to trust in the world today! Maybe it’s always been this way, perhaps I was blessed to grow up in a small eastern Oregon community where life seemed slower, and everyone knew everyone and seemed to care.

Covid isolated us and severely changed our society. A curious new fear has seeped in that wasn’t there before, and the world seems colder and more separated than ever.

Has life left you alone and lonely?

Then daily pray this scripture to our Lord and let his love, peace and presence gently wrap itself around you!

Psalm 25:16 ESV “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.”

There was a song out when I was about 13 that had a verse, “put your hand in the hand of the man who stills the waters; put your hand in the hand of the man who calms the seas.”

This still rings true today. Reach out and find comfort in the one who holds all the waters of the world in the palm of his hand…that’s a mighty big hand that can hold you too!

Please, remember, You are never alone.

Thank you for stopping by Sunshine and may your day be blessed with such! ☀️❤️☺️
