We are NOT Alone!
The thought hit me again last night - we are not alone! There is a song that sings during the bridge, "We are not alone (be still and know I'm here) we are not alone" etc.
The biggest lie in the universe is when we think that there is no one else out there going through what we are going through. That we are doing this all on our own and no one understands. Too many lives have ended because someone felt so alone, so isolated, so without hope, that life seemed better off over and done with.
But the truth is, others have walked where we are walking. Others have been where we are. Others have gone through what we are going through now, and it behooves us to tell our stories to encourage those who so desparately need it.
Such is the encouragement I received last night. Learning how similar someone's journey was to my own, just served to spurr me on to complete this book series, "Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey".
Volume One is supposed to be in my hands right now, but is waiting on Canada Post to deliver it this side of the border. Once I've approved the cover art, the first of 6 volumes will be available for purchase, with the others soon to follow.
God is already using my story to encourage others, and that in itself is encouraging me. I get cold feet about sharing my story at times. But last night that was thoroughly assuaged, right along with the renewed realization that indeed. . . we are NOT alone!
