Never Alone
“And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” (John 8:29)
There is no lonelier place than the island of sin. Jesus suffered many things in His lifetime, but He wasn’t alone. His Father was with Him because He suffered righteously. When we suffer for doing good, we endure with an awareness that God is with us and is pleased with our efforts on His behalf. Our prayers are heard, and our tears are seen. We are safe in the satisfaction that a loving God knows us and sees our pain. The righteous life is a life of hope and companionship.
When we turn our back on God and choose sin, then we suffer alone. We choose the lonely road of selfishness and must expect a cold and solo journey. Sin drives us away from God and man alike. When I choose me, I am also NOT choosing others. Sin offers everything, but in the end, it takes away everyone.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
