The truth is life is hard, some roads require us to travel them alone and that makes it more difficult. But our friends, our true friends, the ones that stick by us when we are ready to just pull over and say "I aint got no more"; the friends that pray us up, the friends that have that 6th sense to message you when you really need someone, the friends that pull up our bootstraps for us; rough us up a bit and tell it like it is, and the friends who are quiet when you just need their presence and nothing more. Thank God for Good friends.
Needless to say, I'm on this hard road, and sometimes the rains beat down on me, the sun is just too hot and the road won't end; but then I look over and there is a good friend, and I remember, we are all traveling on a road, maybe a different kind.
The way I see it is that we are never alone. If no other human is in sight, God is. And isn't He more than enough? He is for me. We will never really be able to enjoy life with others if we can't enjoy it with just us and God.
Isaiah 43:2
"When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. "
Be encouraged and lets aim to look at the glass half full. God is on our side and he is right there with you on this journey.
Don't Give Up!
