Alone Continued!

   Jesus was not afraid to love.  Love is the key to ALL of man’s woes.  Love can conquer nations.  Love can win wars.  Love can heal hate and sickness.  Remember Jesus gave us the 11th commandment in John 13:34-35 “A new commandment I give unto you that you love one another, even as I have loved you.  By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, by the love you have, one toward another”.
   Once, in a time of despair I wrote a narration that I would like to share with you now.  If this is you, take heart that God does love you.  You can also take comfort in the torment that could make someone be that inconsiderate.

   The narration is called

“ALONE”.

LORD, THERE CAN BE PEOPLE ALL AROUND ME,
BUT I STILL FEEL SO ALONE SOMETIMES.
WHY LORD, WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY WHEN I KNOW YOU’RE IN CHARGE.
YOUR WORD SAYS THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD
TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD.
GOD I LOVE YOU, WITH ALL MY HEART, BUT SOMETIMES
I HAVE TROUBLE FINDING SOMETHING GOOD IN THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO ME.

LORD, I BELIEVE IN YOU AND I BELIEVE IN YOUR WORD.
I’VE BEEN THRU BATTLES BEFORE, AND I’M STILL HERE.
I’LL PROBABLY GO THRU MORE THAN THIS BEFORE IT’S DONE.
GOD, IT’S NOT THE BATTLES THAT GET ME,
I KNOW THAT TRIALS BRING PATIENCE AND FAITH.

IT JUST SEEMS THAT WHEN I GO THRU THESE TRIALS,
MY DESPAIR IS SO GREAD SOMETIMES,
AND I FEEL LIKE MY PRAYERS ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
I KNOW THE DEVIL WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO GIVE UP, BUT GOD,
IF I GIVE UP BELIEVING IN YOUR WORD, WHAT IS LEFT?

CAN THE WORLD SOLVE MY PROBLEMS?
CAN THE WORLD TAKE CARE OF MY NEEDS, OR CURE MY SICKNESS?
MOST OF ALL, CAN THE WORLD FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS?
NO LORD, THE WORLD IS NOT THE ANSWER.
