You know, sometimes I wish I was a computer whiz because I found the perfect template for my blog, but I don't know how to transform it into the correct format. Therefore, I am stuck with this mediocre one instead.
Today I have felt rather lonely. I typically feel this way at every moment of every day, but today it seemed to be drastically intensified. That got me thinking that I don't know why I always feel so lonely. I am lonely in this cold world, but I have my best friend at my side at every single instant. Thinking like that makes me feel silly. I've spent a lot of time praying today, just talking to my best friend about how I'm struggling. Then I remembered to pull out my book of promises and came across this: "If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own. But because you do not belong to the world and I have chosen you out of it, the world will hate you. Do you remember what I said to you, 'The servant is not greater than his master?' if they have persecuted me, they will persecute you as well, but if they have followed my teaching, they will also follow yours." John 15:19
This verse really helped me remember my place. It's kind of strange to imagine what life would be like without Jesus always right there with me. I mean, life already sucks pretty bad as it is, but it would suck a much greater amount without Him to always bail me out and encourage me through all the circumstances I struggle through. Thinking of it that way, things never seem to be so bad.
