To each and everyone who is feeling lonely, distant from loved ones, isolated or on the outside, the Spirit of the Lord wants you to know that He sees you and He does not condemn or ignore your feelings of displacement. In fact, He is coming to you – right where you are!
He is coming without any requirement of cleaning up your appearance, tidying up your feelings or hiding your true self. He comes to see you just as you are. He calls you by name and says, “My love for you is so safe that you can come out of hiding, out of isolation and into my presence. You can tell me how you feel. You can be yourself with me for I am the Expert at healing, restoring, delivering; I am the Friend who sticks closer than a brother. I’m the One who stays when everyone else leaves you. That’s who I am. My love covers, corrects, protects, strengthens and nourishes. Let it infuse you today. Let me nourish you. Let me be your safe place.”
John 15:15 NLT
I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.
Psalm 27:10 NLT
Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close.
