Never Alone

Recently I learned something that I don't even know if I can put it into words, but I'll try because it really means a lot to me. There are people out there that hurt you, break your trust, stab you in the back, and give you every reason to be kind to all but trust none. That way of life sounds like the best option, you avoid all the pain right? Wrong! Please don't buy into that lie!

Things are going to happen that will break you. Hurt happens. It's just a fact of life, pain is everywhere, but you don't have to go through it alone. Life is not your own battle to fight. God wants to fight your battles, so let Him. Life is hard, I know it is. Just know that God loves you. Be real with God, He knows everything about you and loves every bit of it. The things you dont' tell anyone, He knows. He knows when you're sad, angry, happy, confused, and everything else. Instead of trying to hide cry out to God, tell Him everything, He WANTS to be with you. He wouldn't have died for you if He didn't want you. I'm not going to lie, it feels amazing to be loved and wanted like that.

Now, when you get it right with God, don't stop there! Find people that love God just as much as you do and they want to help you grow closer to Him. There are people out there you can trust, they may be hard to find, but God is looking out for you and He'll provide. These people are going to be your real friends, and they will love you, be there for you, and actually care! Never settle for anything less!

You are never alone, God is always with you and if you have real friends, they are there for you too. It's amazing! If you struggle with all of this, all I can say is hold on. God is there. If you have all this, you know how incredible it is and now you need to be that real friend to the people who may not have one. We are all a part of the body of Christ if you are a believer and we need to be building each other up, because Satan will be tearing us down.

I just want to leave you with this: Love God, Love People.
