Louise started to teach on authority, but moved to a moment of loneliness she had felt recently.
Loneliness tends to be a big factor in the age today. How do we deal with loneliness in our lives, for whatever reason? It can be divorce, moving to a new church perhaps, children grown and gone off, not feeling included in something, then turning to drinking, drugs, especially by older women, numbing your sense with alcohol for example.
Louise has been in most of those places at one time, including divorce, isolated in another–new–town or city, felt excluded, felt disappointment.
Then the Lord spoke to her: “You are never alone.” Louise decribes the presence and comfort of the Lord, his Spirit directly in your life.
In the middle of all strife around the world today, the Lord is always there for you.
Louise recalles the stories of David, Jeremiah, Isaiah, all attest to the presence of God in their lives when needed.
Sometime when we think we are alone, remember Jesus, often isolated with just three friends, but when he needed comfort and support, he only had to turn to his Father, God who was always there.
Jesus will always take care of you, Spirit, soul, and body. Look at the source of God’s strength and wisdom.
Don’t run to the bottle, nor pills. Turn, instead, to the word of God.
