Many times through out my day I have to continually remind myself that, “I Am Not Alone.” When the waves of emotional pain roll in, I have to remember there is the Greater One who stands along side of me. Some waves take a little longer to subside than others, but they do recede.
“Loneliness and isolation go along with the guilt and shame we feel about who we are or what we have done. We may feel so cut off from others that we feel lonely even when we are around other people. Guilt, fear of being hurt, and self-hatred can make us unable to believe in the love others have for us. We can feel all alone in the struggle even when there are people beside us who want to help. Being willing to accept their love is part of the preparation for making amends.” (The Life Recovery Bible)
I know the above can be hard for many to accept. Trust is certainly not easy for any of us who have been hurt. But, I can say in my experience since going on my journey to freedom, there are some really caring people out there that only have good intentions for me to become well. I pray this for you!
Glad you have caring people to guide you along. Have a wonderful Sunday! God Bless.

Amen...We are never alone on this journey. Sometimes, it "feels" lonely, but indeed our Heavenly Father is right there with us...carrying us when we can't walk.

Alone can be such a bed feeling and so can crowded. A peace in balance is wonderful. wish I had it. ~rick
ReplyDeleteTrust for me is easy to give but once tested hard to get back. It's not easy to trust so when someone violates that trust, it's not pretty. I recently had a situation that tested my soul. It stung to the degree of how the person handled their end. After giving it serious contemplative thought, I let it go and reminded myself one person's poor taste will not change how I feel about others. And I remind myself of that every day.
ReplyDeleteMay the peace of God be with you always, unto the ends of the earth!
ReplyDeleteI never feel alone anymore. And yes, it is a great gift.
ReplyDeleteThere's a god of all comfort, his name is Jesus. He's carried me many times in my life and brought the right people into my life.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's the greatest thought to keep...Have a great Sunday! God bless you JBR.
ReplyDeleteWe are truly never alone unless we willingly walk away from God's arms. Even then, we simply just need to look back and see that He never leaves, He just waits patiently for us to invite us back in and He'll even meet us there.
