You Are Not Alone

Sometimes life has themes.  I find myself saying a couple of phrases lately.  

To my patients:  "Don't be afraid."  

To some of my crew mates, a different phrase:  "You are not alone."  

People have said these things to me before when I really needed to hear them.  Jesus said them to people a lot. 

We need to hear them, because they are true, and we need to speak and hear the truth from each other.  

So if you need to hear today that you don't need to fear, and that you are truly not alone, here is one of my favorite reminders...

You Are Not Alone

Sometimes you get so weary

You run to forget

Keep yourself so busy 

Anything to cover up that

Sometimes life just don't make sense

And the reason for your running

Is a longing to be known

Someone who says your life is worth it

Someone captured by your heart

Someone you gave up on long ago

You are not alone

You are not alone

His love is all around

And He holds you even now

You are not alone

He will not leave you orphaned

That's a promise He has made

When others leave you empty 

When the world has left you broken

Still He will not walk away

So come and lay down all your questions

Lay down your striving to be free

He has loved you since you've breathed

He will love you for forever

Really what more do you need
