Not Alone...

 Recently, I was graciously reminded of one of God's awesome promises. He simply whispered onto my heart that I am not alone and He is with me always and forever. Despite what's going in life, He is here. Despite the mistakes, He is still here. Best of all not only is God with me to help me through this journey called life but he cares and delights himself in every detail of my life. "The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights himself in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand" (Psalms 37:23-24).

There is no better place than to be in the Lord's grasp/hand, there I will be with him and he with me. Protected, loved, strengthened, of use, and victorious. "I have called you back from the ends of the earth so you can serve me. For I have chosen you and will not throw you away. Don't be afraid , for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you.  I will uphold you with my victorious right hand...I am holding you by your right hand---I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, don't be afraid. I am here to help" (Isaiah 41:9-10, 13).  I love this verse because it has definitely been proven in my life.

Although I was on the search to hear something else from the Lord, I did not expect to hear what I thought I already knew. I am thankful for this unexpected reminder. Unexpected but o' so sweet and very much needed.
