Alone in a Big World

“Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? (Luke 12:27-28 NLT)

When someone loves you, they want to take care of you. This could mean providing a roof over your head, putting meals on the table, sacrificing their own wants to care for you. The same is with God. God loves you so much that He wants to take care of you. He doesn't want you to worry about anything because He wants to take care of you. He loves you so much that He sacrificed His own Son, Jesus, just so that He could have a relationship with you. There are a lot of lonely people out there that think no one cares for them and that they are alone in this world. I used to think that way. I used to think no one cared about me, that I had no friends and that once I was gone from this world, no one would know the difference. These are the lies that the enemy wants us to believe to destroy us. The reality is there ARE people that care for you and there ARE people that call you friend...but most importantly there is a God that loves you so much and He wants to take care of you. When I realized this, my whole attitude changed, I stopped being depressed, I stopped feeling sorry for myself and I started living! When I realized that God loves me, I found I had hope...and in the process I found I DID have friends and people did care about me.

Take Away: When you are feeling a little unloved, when you think you are alone and no one cares, meditate on Luke 12:27-28, tell yourself "I am not alone, I am not unloved, but I am loved by the God."
