You are not alone.

If you stay at home alone for most of the day, your not the only one. If you stay home every day alone except Saturday and Sunday, your not the only one. If you get bombarded with the enemy at home ALONE every day, your not alone. If your about to go crazy because you stay at home every week day alone, your not alone. If not for God, life here in Bethel would go haywire. It is hard to imagine that a God would suffer so horribly just to save a ignorant, stubborn, and rebbelous creation. God is very good. Even through the black darkness of the world. Suspecially in Bethel. When you can feel Satan's bombardent at home at night. Jesus, Saviour, Friend closer than a brother, Father. We have no idea of how much love He has. A righteous judge. You are not the only one if you stay home alone. You are not alone if you fall down allot and it seems as if you can not get up again. You are not alone when people do not understand that being home alone every weekday for about 8 hours every day is very depressing. When there is not much but work in a house every day. You are not alone if you are tired of this. You are not alone if you think about suicide but change your mind because of family and friends. You are not alone if it seems like God is not real but real at the same time. You are not alone if you get afraid because you are by yourself and suicide seems good. Your not alone when things at church does not change and it is the same ol same ol. Your not alone when things of life makes one go into a rage. You are not alone.

You are right Nathan, you are not alone. I am sitting here tonight by myself I was feeling "alone" because I had no one to hang out with, or laugh with right now as that's what I would like to be doing.

Thank you Nathan to reminding me that I am not alone. Remember too, God can use you as instrument to change things for the better. Seek Him as to how.

Praying for you.

My Child You're Not Alone
At times like these it's hard to find the right words to say,
And I know that words alone won't take the pain away.
But, I know a man who sits high, and looks low,
And He is saying, "My child, you're not alone."
He is saying, "I love you and I am concerned about you,
And all the pain and hurt that you are going through."
He is saying, "Lean on me, I will be your comfort through this time.
And although it’s dark now, the sun again will shine."

Even though it’s hard to see through tears that you now cry,
Just know that there will come a day when your tears, He will dry.
And though words alone won’t ease the pain that you now feel,
Just know that in time, your heart, He will heal.

I pray that God will give you peace, and strength in your heart
As He holds you in His arms, and from you, He won’t depart.
May you always be encouraged, may you ever hold on.
And remember, "My child, you're not alone."
