Alone in a crowd


I'm sure everyone can relate to this feeling... being surrounded by people yet feeling completely alone. It affects all of us at one point or another. From here you have two choices: let the feeling overtake you and cause depression and sadness or fight back. This is a struggle I face from time to time. Sometimes I will find myself consumed with the thoughts of loneliness and just cry. But I get to a point where I don't care about the mind games the devil tries to play because I know what God's word says.  In Colossians 2:1 it says, "I want you to realize that I continue to work as hard as I know how for you, and also for the Christians over at Laodicea. Not many of you have met me face-to-face, but that doesn't make any difference. Know that I'm on your side, right alongside you. You're not in this alone." Really, it's the last part of this verse that speaks to me. God says I'm on your side and you're not in this alone! He is always there with you, no matter how much people fail you or make you feel abandoned. God is and will always be there!!! You can count on Him always. He is your comforter on the loneliest days. Nothing can go wrong in your life than God cannot handle and fix. Trust Him, completely.
