YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
Acts 17:26-27

Whether you have a lot of friends or a few, you can feel alone in a room full of people, or in bed with one.  Alone with your thoughts and feelings.  Alone in your pain, or worse, in your joy.

So you go out.  You call someone.  You text someone else. 
He answers.
She responds.

The feeling is still there.
After you meet, greet, smile, and hug, what's in you is still yours...alone.

Who is really with you, feeling you, listening to you, all of the time?
One word comes to mind, but you're afraid to say it.
You're afraid it's cliché, and that my words will leave you feeling by yourself.

Consider this.
Do you feel alone while you're reading?

If not, then say the one word.
I'll ask again.
Who is really with YOU, the one reading my words; feeling you, listening to you, all of the time.

GOD.

How can you know?
It is written,

"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." 
Psalms 34:18

The Spirit says again to you,
"The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." Psalms 145:18

If you are broken hearted and crushed in spirit, call on the LORD in truth. 
In total honesty.
Don't say what you think you're supposed to say, but what you really deeply feel.
I promise you, after you do, you won't feel alone.

You are not alone.
 
God is with you.
 
I am with you.
 
I love you.
