Don’t be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, “I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,” we can boldly quote,
God is there, ready to help;
I’m fearless no matter what.
Who or what can get to me?
Hebrews 13:5-6

Hebrews 13:5-6
In life it is easy to think that we are alone. I fight with this a lot. I soon will be living alone with just my dog and part of me thinks that life will be like this forever. I forget though that I am truly not alone. I have friends, I have Family, and I have God.
It is easy though for my mind to say things like "they will leave" or "they are not here now with you" and for me to get depressed. Yet I don't have to look far to find scripture that says God is right there with me. I need that!
This world can get lonely, friends may leave, family dies, and at times you will reach out and no one is able to be there, but God always reaches back. One reason I love having a dog, is no matter what, she is there. I can snuggle up to her, and tell my day to her. Well, no matter what, I can pray and tell my day to God. I may not always feel God, but I can tell my day to God.
And when I really need a human touch, I have prayed for God to send someone and you know what, someone has always appeared. Maybe not who I thought or how I thought, but someone has always appeared to be there for me. And sometimes, it is them reaching out for help. Which got me out of me!
We are not alone in this world, God made us to be social! That is why He gave us a church family. Utilize that! Reach out to them. Get to know them! Make connections! How else are you to have people who care if you don't get to know them?
And this goes to me too! I am horrible at reaching out and getting to know mine. I don't go eat with people and go to functions where I get to know them. I don't participate in extra things. I say hi to just a few. But I am working on it.
Church is important and surrounding yourself with God's people is important. Well, I am going to leave it with that and go join my church in playing some softball! Taking my own words to heart!
