“…I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I
will be with you…”
Loneliness
and unhappiness can be a heavy load to bear.
Feeling like you are all alone can at times feel suffocating.
The world can
isolate you…its harsh judgments and cold neglect can take away any feeling of self-worth,
and the enemy will attack and lead you to a place of fear and hopelessness.
But that place
is a lie.
God has no
desire for you to be alone and the bible is the story of what He has done to
reunite you to Himself. Christmas, the
Cross, the Resurrection…all combine for the sole purpose of restoring the
fellowship He desires to have with you.
The truth
is you are God’s chosen…He adores you.
He specifically called you by your name. There is no greater value than
to be treasured by God.
The enemy’s
greatest fear is that you will realize this and use the strength that is rooted
in that truth. Your royalty is your
strength. If you can remember God’s adoration for you it will fill you will joy
and confidence and direct your vision outward.
God didn’t
issue a general call…He didn’t summon a group. He sent you a private invitation….
He called you by your name… He loves you and cherishes time with you…God enjoys
your company and longs to throw His arms around you and shower you with the
love of a Father for His child.
Nothing
you face today can change that. You are His, and whatever you go through today
He will go through it with you … you are not alone.
Rest in
that. Take His hand and set out today to rescue others who have believed the
lie. The truth in this verse is clear …you
belong to God.
“He is a faithful friend – a friend that sticketh closer than
a brother."

Dwight L. Moody
