For one brief
moment I abandoned you. In a quick burst of anger, I rejected you and hid My
face from you, leaving you to feel deserted and alone.
But I love
you with a love that endures the ages and loves you forever. With enormous
compassion I will gather you back to me. With great mercy, I will forgive and
protect. With kindness, I will bring you to Me. With tenderness, I will embrace
you again.
That is what
I say. And I am the Lord, your Redeemer.
Isaiah 54.7-8
When you wake up feeling alone and disconnected
because of the challenges in your life life, when you are in the dark valley
under the shadows of your situations and it becomes hard to see, that is when
you need to rest on the wing of His promises.
“He, Himself said I will never leave you nor
forsake you." Heb 13.5 and, “For His anger is
but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” Psalm 30.5.
May the Grace of our Lord strengthen and uphold
you through this moment of uncertainty. May you receive the strength to stay on
course, no matter the pain or pressure, until the light breaks through, in
Jesus name, amen.

This is what God tells us in Scripture...that He will always be there for us. What a secure feeling that gives us because we know that we can believe and rely on it.This is the theme of our writing today by Brother Thomas Ukwute.
