Never Alone

Brianne Leckness sat on the steps of a church, abandoned by his mom and step-dad. Brianne was 3 years old. Her parents had pinned a note on her shirt: "Please take care of her. We can't any longer." Passed from foster home to foster home, Brianne grew up the best that she could. Brianne remembers how, on her 18th birthday, her mother "blew into town and wanted us to go on The Montel Williams Show and say how she really never wanted to give me up". But Brianne knew the obvious truth: Her mother hadn't wanted her.

Such a story rips into our hearts. It's impossible to imagine such callous desertion. Thankfully, few of us have faced tis kind of abusive abandonment. We have all however, felt the sting of rejection. We have all, in our own way, been left alone. A divorce leaves us without a parent. A misunderstanding leaves us without a friend. An economic downturn leaves us without a job. Whatever the trouble, the result s the same: We feel alone.


When we're in this place, God's bold words echo with hope and perfect clarity: "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you". This straight forward assertion does not mean that our human pain immediately dissolves or that we downplay the seriousness of other's neglect. What it does mean, however, is that God's presence can heal our most lonely place. God's love is the love we are most desperate for, and God's love will never wane. It will never run thin. God's love wil always-always-be with us.


When God says He will not "fail" us, He promise that He will never abandon or neglect those He loves. Gos's love will never let us go, never leave us to ourselves

Memory Verse (week 16)

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, and with all your mind'.
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it : ' Love your neighbour as yourself.'


Matthew 22 : 37 -39.

Three Man & a Motive (week 16)

A man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 8.50a.m., pulled a gun and demanded cash. The clerk said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available until after breakfast. Frustrated, the man just walked away.

Another man walked into a 7/11 convenience store in Louisiana, put a $20 bill on the counter and asked a change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk quickly handed over. The man took the cash from the clerk and ran, leaving his $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he ran away with? Fifteen dollars.

Both of these man, although desperate enough to put themselves and others at great risk, came away with nothing, or a $5 loss!

Read about the similar man in Matthew 19 : 16 - 22.

The two men in the news stories walked away empty-handed.

Although the man who approached Jesus had wealth, he was spiritually bankrupt. Even after talking with the very One Who could give him all he desired, he walked away empty-handed and even more sad.

What about you? Do you feel like these men, constantly wantin your needs met but growing more frustrated with every attempt to meet them? Jesus is your Source. He can meet your needs. It may not be in the way you think, but it will be the best way for you.

Memory Verse (week 15)

Do nothing out of selfish ambition

or vain conceit, but in humility

consider others better than yourselves.

Philippians 2 : 3

Seeing The Unseen (week 15)

Two travelling angels, disguised as men, stopped to spend the night in the mansion of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead, they were taken to the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem".

The next night the pair came to rest at the house ofpoor, but very gracious, farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was upset and asked the older angel, "How could you have let this happen?! The first man had everything, yet you helped him. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let their cow die."

"Things aren't always what they seem," The older angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he couldn't find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I told him to take the cow instead."

Read Romans 8 : 26 - 28.

There are events that occur in our lives that we can't understand, causing us to question God and ask, "Why?" Today's story illustrates that there are always reasons for the things that happen. Some we can see immediately, some we'll see later in life, and others we won't know until heaven. The best choice now is to love God, trust Him in everything, and allow Him to comfort us when we hurt. Notice how many things today's Scripture says God will work for your good - "all things."
