Technology
aside, all of us battle with seasons of loneliness, wondering if anyone knows,
understands, or cares about the burdens we carry or the struggles we face. But
followers of Christ have an assurance that brings comfort to our weary hearts.
The comforting presence of the Savior is promised in words that are undeniable,
for the psalmist David wrote, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your
staff, they comfort me” (Ps. 23:4).
Whether
isolated by our own choices, by the cultural trends that surround us, or by the
painful losses of life, all who know Christ can rest in the presence of the
Shepherd of our hearts. What a friend we have in Jesus!
Those
who know God as their Friend are never alone. (RBC)
