Thirty Days of Thanksgiving: Day 14 - Never Alone



"Make sure that your character is free from the love of money,
being content with what you have; for He Himself has said,
"I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU," "
                           Hebrews 13:5

We are almost halfway through our Thirty Days of Thanksgiving, are you finding new things for which to be thankful each day?

Today my thanksgiving is for the promise from God that He will never leave nor forsake me. This world that we live in and the experiences we go through can leave us feeling worn down and exhausted, sometimes alone. People often let us down, even those we have considered trusted friends will hurt or betray us. It is just human nature, no one is perfect and we all fail. So thanks be to God that He is perfect in every way, and He will not abandon us.



So many things vie for our attention and devotion these days, yet God wants us to be devoted to Him, to be content with what we have and whatever comes our way. He promises to be with us through the good and the bad, and to carry us through the difficult times. When we come to Him in faith, we know we can trust Him and He will not leave us. 

Please take courage in this promise and give thanks for it!

Linda
