We Are Not Alone ~ Psalm 34:1-7

I will extol the Lord at all times;
    his praise will always be on my lips.

 

 I will glory in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
 Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.

Psalm 34:1-3

 

We are in this together.

 

Life is not meant to be lived in a silo. We are intended to be in relationship with others. God created us for relationship: first with Him and second with each other.

 

God's love for us is so great that it extends beyond simply giving us what we need to survive (food, water, shelter). He has given us connection, support, love and fellowship.

 

In our relationships we have the ability to help each other celebrate successes, conquer fears and survive tragedy. 

 

We have the tremendous gift of being able to empathize with the ones God has put into our lives. God allows us to bridge the gap - to help our friends and family members experience His love through us. And He allows us the wonderful blessing of experiencing His love through our family and friends.

 

 We are not alone.

 

Yes, we each always have God with us.

But, we also have the joy of having others in our lives.

 

We are in this together.
