The Constant Companion

My mom and I are best friends, and I depend on her for a lot emotionally.  I share everything with her, good news, bad news,  and news that really isn't news at all!  I never doubt her love or question whether she will support me or not. But ever since I was a child my mom has told me that although she loves me she can't promise to always be there for me, but that there was someone who would never leave my side, someone who would never let me down or fail me.  She would tell that he would be there through my worst times and that I could never be bad enough to escape his love.  She was talking about God.  My mother was right, and I have had the privilege to experience this many times firsthand.  One of the most intimidating scary experiences of my life I had to face completely alone.  I was competing in a pageant, and I was far away from home.  Everyone had family come out to support them but due to certain circumstances mine could not be there.  As I was about to go onto stage for the final judging night I stood in front of the mirror shaking and thought " I am all alone, there is not one person out there cheering me on. No one is supporting me,  no one out there  believes in me."   Then God spoke to me.  He told me that the King of Kings was in the audience cheering me on. Then he gave me a picture of every one of those chairs in the auditorium being filled with angels and God was seated in the center!  My heavenly family was there.  I went on to win that pageant, but the most special part of that night was walking on stage feeling  my Father God with me!  Today I needed to remind myself of God's faithfulness.  I have had one of those pathetic lonely days.  You know the ones when everything goes wrong and you just have no one to turn to.  So I made the decision to call out to God today, to remember that he hasn't left me.   If you are having a  "life sucks, I want to throw a potato at someones head" days than remember God hasn't left you either.

Isiah 30:18 "Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of  justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!"
