Alone, But Not Alone

It can be a lonely walk some of the time ... Most of the time. While we have the occasional companion for a season, the fellow traveler, the moment soon comes when you must part company and each go on to your assigned task. It is a task you do alone. Even if you have apparent company, a spouse, friends, no one can see the struggle inside of you. That thing that tears at you, screaming at times to be free of it all, desiring to be what God made you to be.

You do it alone. You walk to your death (i.e. Carry your cross) alone. At least is sure does feel like it ...

But then you realize, you are not alone. The Master who called you to follow Him, the One that you love, the King of your soul, He is there. Leading you, walking besides you, His Glory is your rear guard. On every side He is there.

He allows the loneliness, the suffering, the rocky trail, because He is making something out of you. A disciple, a warrior, a friend, a lover of Truth, a royal priesthood, and a blessed child of God that will grow to be the man (or woman) He has destined you to be.

There is no other way, it is the path of freedom. You walk it alone ... But never alone.

In Christ,
