PSALM 38 VS 11
My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away. NIV
Have you ever felt as if you are the only one in this world and that no one cares enough to be bothered about what becomes? Or perhaps in your place of work or schooling you have chosen to take a particular decision which is right and because of that you have been isolated from your colleagues and friends?
Then you are not alone because several people around the globe have experienced the feeling of loneliness at one point or another in their lives including the writer in the above text whose friends and neighbors forsook him because he was afflicted with wounds of which I believe so many of my readers might be able to sympathize.
Well, whatever be the reason for your being isolated from friends, family and colleagues be it
Loss of Status
Sickness
Poverty
Failure
Deformity and so on
Never forget that you have a friend in Jesus Christ who has promised to never leave you nor forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:8 –
And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
Jesus Christ would not leave you in sickness or in health, in poverty or riches, in youth or old age, in failure or success. He is a constant friend and you can count on Him.
