Feeling alone? Let's talk about it.

Many are confined to their homes...
a ​virus is spreading, and so is fear. 

During this time, I have "3" words for you -  focus on God.   
There is nothing else as important as those "3" words.
There is no reason to fear what is happening in the world. 
Remember God knows the end from the beginning.
All this is in His plan for a sinful world. 
Do not dwell on the circumstances.  Dwell on HIM. 

Now is the time to look up, raise your hands and ask God, "How can I serve YOU now?"   
This is the time we have been waiting for. TO BE USED. 
What an opportunity to pray, draw close, reach out, feel Him guiding you and know you are drawing on His strength!

Don't lose your joy my friend!   We are to rejoice in the Lord always...always.  
We may not be able to gather together right now, but you can be isolated and yet still be in HIS presence, alone-together with HIM!  Wow.  It's not about friends at a building where you meet on Sunday, it's not about teaching that ladies class... people make up the church. It's about you and HIM.  

Shake off the fear.  Shake off the uncertainty of tomorrow. 
Focus on what you need to be doing for Him in this moment in time. 
Christ is waiting to fill you. 
Christ is present with you. 
The most precious time you can have in this life is the time  alone with HIM. 
Find joy in this fact - He is in  control.  
Find peace knowing this. 

When you became His child, His Spirit came to dwell within you.
The Comforter resides within. You CAN be fearless. 
Fear not.  How many times have we been told that in His Word? 
Do not let your heart be troubled. 
These are all commands, not suggestions. 

As a child of God, what do you have to fear? 
To live is Christ (to serve Him now) - to die is gain (to be with Him eternally).
What a promise!

If you know Him, there is no fear...just faith. 
I hope you are beginning to feel the fear evaporate. 
I hope you understand that HE lives in you.  
Thank Him for His promise that nothing can separate you from His love, His presence. 

So, in this time of panic, be assured HE is with you. 
We can do all things through Christ.   Through Christ, not alone.  Through.

As His genuine children, we should not fall apart in the face of a virus,
or the moral decay going on in our nation.  GOD is always in control even in the darkness. 

We have been told in His Word that we need to be strong in our walk of faith. 
We have been told in His Word that we should be spiritually strong to stand. 

There is going to come a day when we will not have the opportunity to always gather in a building together - it is coming.  Whether at this time, are down the road a bit.
We must be spiritually strong, we must be prepared. 
In order to be prepared, we must fill our heart and mind with His Word and feel His presence. 

THIS IS THE TIME GOD HAS spoken of.   
THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY that we are given - to tell others who do not know Him,
how they too can find peace and joy - and an eternal home. 

Don't miss this opportunity. 
Don't miss this time of reaching out to others. 
Don't miss this time to honor Him with your inner joy, peace and spiritual strenght. 

He has promised to be there, to fill us, to strengthen us, to fill us with peace and joy - take it! 

If this post seems like I am just rambling on, I am sorry.
It seems as if so many feel as if they are "coming undone." But there is no need to unravel.  
​
Contrary, we should be so well knitted together in His Word that nothing can tear us apart from standing spiritually strong through Christ. 

Yes, we will have our physical moments of sliding...
but with His spiritual strength, we can regain our footing and stand spiritually strong. 

Blessings to you all - we are all in this together, draw close to Christ!
