I am loved by the most awesome God. So much so that he takes the time to remind me even in the most seemingly insignificant ways, that he's got me, and that I am "Never Alone."
I got this plastic egg right before Easter. Mom had a "Blessings" party, which is basically a home decor company with products that promote Christian values. The sweet Consultant, who happens to be a close friend of My Mom's, had brought these eggs, but only 12. She brought them to share with Mom's party goers, and had stuffed them with mini messages from Jesus. She had prayed over each of them knowing and proclaiming that they would speak to the hearts of the ones who received them. When she found out that there would be almost 20 people there she was disappointed that she didn't have more. I left and headed to volleyball without giving the eggs or Mom's party another thought. When I came back and the party was winding down, I was helping Mom and her friend clean up, when she found an egg. Just one left in the basket that apparently didn't get handed out. She gave it to me, and told me to open it. Obviously I did, and the white paper inside simply said "Never Alone". Just like she had prayed, those words spoke tenderly to my heart.
You see, the last few weeks haven't been easy ones. I've been feeling like I'm peddling a bicycle that doesn't have any wheels. I'm going and going but not getting anywhere. There's a whole lot of reasons why I feel this way, but none of them really matter. The bottom line is that my satisfaction, completion, companionship, acceptance, success, and every other good thing, is found solely in my Savior. No matter how I may feel, I am never alone.
Here are some verses to reassure you that you too can always be accompanied by the God who loves you more than anything, all you've got to do is seek him out.
Hebrews 13:5
Don't love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you."
Psalm 16:5
Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.
Psalm 62:2
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.
Psalm 91:2
This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.
God is Good, ALL the time.
