“Never will
I leave you; never will I forsake you” Hebrews 13:5
The feeling of being alone
is simultaneously relatable to a bottomless pit. The place is dark and cold
with a sign that says “no way out, but up”. We realize that when we are in the
pit we see how easy it was for us to fall in and how hard it is to get out. We
desire to be rescued but we don’t desire the need to be ‘saved’. And we wonder
why the conditions of the pit are so harsh. It’s because the pit is where our
mind goes to lock itself out from the world at hand. No one wants to deal with the
harsh realities of life when life doesn’t ease up from the pain. The one who
has come to save us all from the pit is the one who has been redeemed from the
grave. He has been restored from death to life for us all to live again. I am
amazed how we can leave the one we love and chase after another, in terms of
conditions when he gives us unconditional love. We don’t have to pay for
something we already have access to and we certainly don’t have to be reassured
of the love that he gives. In every occasion he guarantees security and safety
in him. He gives us his word and it stands on truth. How viable is our word and
how can he stand on truth if it isn’t in us.
