There have been times in my life in which I felt completely abandoned. No, nobody ever left me on the side of the road wondering where my parents went or anything like that, but there were other things that made me think nobody cared about me or loved me.
I know that I'm loved, it's just that sometimes, Jesus seems really far away? I even had a crisis of faith last year. I literally was beginning to think God didn't care, exist, etc. Then a friend reminded me that the pain I was "feeling" was making me "miserable," and that one emotion, "misery," is the devil's favorite emotional snare!
Some days are harder than others. Some days are absolutely exquisite due to a complete interruption in pain for an entire day! Just hoping to one day, feel that way every day, not just once in awhile. I'm not worried, and I'm not afraid. Whatever it is I face, no matter how many surgeries to correct my spine? I know Jesus will be there and He'll hold my hand and never leave me while I'm going through it. He'll never leave me PERIOD!
"On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand."
I know that sometimes when stuff piles up on top of us, that it's hard to breathe, feel okay, be okay, and know you're going to be okay? All I have to do is say the name of Jesus, and the spirits of despair, depression, fear, etc., are"poof!" Gone! "You believe that there is one God, you do well. Even the demons believe, and they tremble." (James 2:19).
"There's a Sweet Sweet Spirit in this place, and I know that it's the presence of the Lord."
Time to go and sing, and praise Him for everything I'm going through in this particular storm. And Jesus?
Jesus will be with me the whole way!
