You Are Never Alone!

By Stanley B. Mathurin

Does your life seem to be empty, without meaning and/or purpose?
Is the intense feeling of emptiness driving you into substance abuse, alcohol or promiscuous activities?
Do you feel abandoned, because family and friends have distanced themselves from you?
Maybe your testimony as a Christian has opened the flood gates of satan to drown the life out of you and you just dont feel you can make it any more, because its too much for you to bear. Well, listen to this. The God that I serve, His name is Jehovah. He is greater than the adversity you are facing. You are not alone!
From a divine perspective, I say this to you: Fight the good fight of faith! Hold on to the faithfulness of Gods Word and endure difficulties without wavering. And then, according to 1 Peter 5:10, may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you. Glory to God!!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
God will transform your loneliness into infinite happiness. No amount of friends, social gatherings, family get-togethers, movies, sports or lovers can ever fill the inner void from which loneliness originates. Only God can. When all our entertainments and busy-ness fail us, its time to look outside ourselves to our heavenly Father, Jehovah.
Because He lives, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY NEVER ALONE!

Acknowledgements

Most important of all, all praise and glory and honor is due to the King of kings and LORD of lords, my Savior and my God, Eli, El Elyon, Ha El Shaddai. It is by His Holy inspiration that this book has been written to share His prison-breaking Word for defeating all the principalities and powers of our enemy, the evil one. I do not have words adequate to acknowledge all He has done for me, but I will continue to acknowledge Him in every aspect of my life, above all and forever. I love You, Adonai, more than I am able to express!

My deepest appreciation goes to my wife, Halima, for her unfailing support and encouragement in the things of God. Once again, thanks, my most faithful covenant partner.

Special thanks go to my editor and beloved sister in Christ, Jan Shampaner, for her friendship and prayerful counsel in this work. I continue to thank my God for your time and for sharing your knowledge with me. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Special thanks also to Letitia Anderson for her valuable time spent in proof reading this book. Thanks again, my beloved sister.

Introduction

Does your life seem to be empty, without meaning and/or purpose?

Is the intense feeling of emptiness driving you into substance abuse, alcohol or promiscuous activities?

Do you feel abandoned, because family and friends have distanced themselves from you?

Maybe your testimony as a Christian has opened the flood gates of satan to drown the life out of you and you just don’t feel you can make it any more, because it’s too much for you to bear. Well, listen to this. The God that I serve, His name is Jehovah. He is greater than the adversity you are facing. You are not alone!

From a divine perspective, I say this to you: Fight the good fight of faith! Hold on to the faithfulness of God’s Word and endure difficulties without wavering. And then, according to 1 Peter 5:10,  . . . may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you. Glory to God!!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

God will transform your loneliness into infinite happiness. No amount of friends, social gatherings, family get-togethers, movies, sports or lovers can ever fill the inner void from which loneliness originates. Only God can. When all our entertainments and busy-ness fail us, it’s time to look outside ourselves to our heavenly Father, Jehovah. Because He lives, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY NEVER ALONE!

You Are Absolutely Never Alone

In our walk with God, there will be times when we will experience great joy, peace and happiness. As we continue our journey, there are times, whether daily, weekly, or monthly, when we will experience turmoil, pain, chaos and difficulty. For most of us, it can possibly seem as though there is no hope, as if we are again left wandering and stranded in a barren desert where no oasis can be found and as if there is no one to come alongside us with aid. At such times, we may be tempted to throw in the towel and give up, for the sun is scorching us on every side, our water supply has been depleted, and we are dying of hunger.

Listen! God is there with you. You are not alone!! God is always with you. His pledge to be everywhere is evidenced by His omnipresence. God sees you, He cares and is concerned about you. He knows where you are and all the predicaments you are facing, for He is omniscient. Because He is omnipotent, He can and will deliver you, for He is all powerful. When despondency, isolation and destitution tread upon the territory of your lifescape, do not lose heart. When the devil whispers his nasty lies—There is no hope . . . Life for you will not change . . . and… There is nothing else to look forward to, because you are finished—do not lose heart. 2 Corinthians 4:15-17 says: ¹⁵ For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. ¹⁶ Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory…
