“The Lord
himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you
nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged”
(Deuteronomy 31:8)
Has your heart been ripped into shreds? Does
discouragement and despair rule your moments? Do you feel deserted
and alone? So many of us face these feelings of betrayal and
rejection at some time in our lives. No matter how rejected or
betrayed you or I might feel, there is the absolute promise of His
constant presence and abiding love. He never betrays or rejects His
children. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. There is no
change in His love and abiding care. He is our rock.
Each one who believes in Jesus Christ
can declare, “The Lord, my rock, goes before me to protect me from
what lies ahead. He will remain with me. He will never leave me or
forsake me. I don't need to be afraid or discouraged, because He will
take care of all that concerns my life. His strength will carry me
through all that comes. I won't be discouraged because I might feel
alone, because I'm not. I have the greatest ally on my side. Fear
will not take over my life, because His perfect love in me will cast
out any fear.
“I will always remember that I am not
alone, and He is with me in all that I face. He cannot deny the love
He has freely given to me at Calvary. It is done, and His promise is
accomplished. I can walk in newness of life because of it. Whatever
comes, I will not be afraid or discouraged. I will trust His heart
and His love for me. My shredded heart will heal in time, and one day
His peace and joy will reign completely. I know He is with me, and I
need never be alone or afraid again.”
