not alone

Journal entry by Ann — Feb 3, 2018
As I reread the last post a thought came into my head. I am not alone. Even when no one is near me I’m never alone. The scriptures say never will I leave you never will I forsake you. I fully believe that. God is part of each and every moment I experience. And I would have it no other way.
If I am paying attention and focused on Him I am even more aware of His nearness. It’s easy to praise and thank Him when all seems to be going right. Though I wonder are my thoughts of what is “going right” the same as His? I can
only hope the path I am on is the same one God wrote special for me. If not I trust He will guide me back to exactly where He knows is the best place for me.
There have been many events in my life that have made me drop to my knees, but I know that I can go to my Heavenly Father and be comforted. I can have peace even in the midst of life’s most difficult times. There have been many of them and I’m sure there will be more to come. We are not promised a life of ease and in no way do I expect that. Though I never expected I’d lose a child, but NO matter what comes my way I know I’m not alone.
If I am not feeling God near it is I who has moved away. He is the same today and every day. I am His daughter whom He loves. He wants me close by. He wants my heart to be near to His. He wants to hear all that I desire, am thinking, and what’s in the depths of my heart. Though He always already knows He wants to have a relationship directly with me and have me talk to Him daily.
I am completely overwhelmed at just the thought of how much I am loved by God. To Him I am a precious gem something to be cherished. I am never alone.

Zephaniah 3:17

The Lord your God is in your midst,

a mighty one who will save;

he will rejoice over you with gladness;

he will quiet you by his love;

he will exult over you with loud singing.

No greater love could be given to me.
Hugs and love, Ann
