You Are Not Alone

You Are Not Alone!
My wife and I were able to watch a portion of a dramatic TV show last night together. Wow! It has been a long time since we had done that. The theme of the show was that if you spend Christmas alone, it means that no one loves you. You may argue with this fact, but there is no doubt that each of us find ourselves feeling alone many times in life. Granted sometimes it is reality and sometimes it is perception.
Perhaps you are serving in a difficult place and feeling all alone during this season of your life. Earlier this week I had an occasion to be in a building in downtown Syracuse. I held the elevator for a nicely dressed Black gentleman and noticed a Potter’s House logo on his brief case. I asked him about his relationship with the Lord and we shared a brief time of fellowship as brothers in Christ as we rode the elevator together. You probably know that Potter’s House is the name of T. D. Jakes’ ministry out of TX. Then yesterday, I was with Dolly, my bride, for a doctor’s visit and we found out that the nurse who served us is a newly born again follower of Christ. Wow! We are not alone! I am reminded of the story of Elijah who was threatened and felt all alone, only to have the Lord show him 7000 who had not bowed their knees to Baal. (I Kings 19:11, 18; Matthew 28:20)
You are not alone, no matter the circumstances and I wish you a Christ-filled Christmas Season!
