Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

(Romans 8:35 ESV)

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

(1 Peter 2:9 ESV)

I have discovered that I love online cryptogram puzzles. I did one yesterday. It was “It takes nothing to join the crowd. It takes everything to stand alone.”

How many times do we just go with the crowd instead of what we should be doing? The crowd isn’t always the right way to go.

The rest of it was “It takes everything to stand alone.” But do you really stand alone? Even when we are alone we aren’t alone. Jesus is always with us. We are NEVER alone.

I have felt completely alone at times. But I wasn’t alone. Jesus was right beside me. That is the best news ever. Jesus is the best friend we could ever have. He loves us unconditionally and is always fighting for us. He clears the way for us. Jesus will never leave us no matter what. We may feel like He has left us but He is right there. We are the ones who moved away. 

My advice to you is this. Call on Jesus. Tell Him your problems. Yes, He already knows them but tell Him anyway. Then find scripture about what is going on. Quote scripture to Jesus. Tell Him, “Your word says…” Let Him work it out for you. Because He will. That’s just what He does.

Don’t forget to thank Him and keep praising Him. 

Have a blessed day, everyone.
