You are never alone. Even when you think everybody else has walked out of your life, even if you think your closest friends have rejected you and forgotten you, have faith still that you are not alone.
In times when even God seems distant and silent, think not that He has cast you away. For His silence is as near an answer as His promptings. And His veil is as as kind and gentle as His light.
It takes a far deeper love to hide the good that we do so it can work out something better. It takes a far greater mercy to withhold immediate relief so you can offer true healing and recovery.
God has not left you. You may not feel His presence, but He is closer to you now, strengthening you in ways only His wisdom and love could ever know.
One day you will finally understand. And when the eyes of your heart has finally been opened, you will see that God has always loved you, that God has always been with you all along.
“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!” – Isaiah 49:15, WEB
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
