WE ARE NEVER ALONE!
Proverbs 18:24 – Devotional
Proverbs 18:24
“A man that has friends must himself be a friend to others. There is a friend that sticks closer to us than a brother.”
Being alone is a sad and dismal position. We really do need each other and a friend is one of the greatest possessions we can have. It is a sad and poor man who has no friends. Friends are different than companions. Companions may be close by, but really are not close enough for us to share our deepest feelings.
Thinking back across the years of my life, I have had a wealth of friends. Many years ago I received a plaque from a dear friend that holds special meaning for me. It reads; “A friend is one who knows you as you are, understands where you’ve been, accepts who you’ve become, and still gently invites you to grow.”
You may have such a dear friend, but as believers we all have a friend who is even closer. Of course I am speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the One who is with us at all times. We are never really alone when others have departed, for He stays with us all through life’s darkest hours.
You may even question whether it even helps to pray. Hold it! That fatalistic view of life is like slamming the door in the face of our closest friend who patiently stands at the door and quietly knocks. He is always here to help us. Please open the door and allow Him to heal all of the hurts you feel right now.
Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
