A little while back I asked a question on FaceBook, “would you miss me if we weren’t friends anymore?” A few said yes. I then proceeded to delete over 4000 “friends”, people that I never really knew, and the disappointing part of it was, only one or two really noticed. Recently I got a new phone and did not transfer any phone numbers and only created new contacts for those I communicated with and added others in as needed. I had over 1200 contacts in my old phone and now only 272. There are many people that go through a rough time and feel all alone, like no one really cares and I can relate to that. I Google searched “do you ever feel as if no one cares about you?” and there were over 212 million results. I know these feelings intimately because I have experienced these feelings and emotions most of my life in one way or another. My prayer for anyone else that feel this way is written in *Ephesians 3:14 For this reason [grasping the greatness of this plan by which Jews and Gentiles are joined together in Christ] I bow my knees [in reverence] before the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ], 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name [God—the first and ultimate Father]. 16 May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].* My friends, when you have no more stamina, when you are out of answers, when the world tells you that you are nothing, remember that unknown days journeyed with a known and trustworthy God will always give you peace. If God is asking you to step out in faith today, do it, He will not leave you nor forsake you. If you hear the whisper of the Holy Spirit guiding you, then go boldly for God is with you. My BeLoved, may the grace of the Lord Jesus, and the love of God the Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen. In Christ Love, douglas. HE>i. pastord.blog
