23:4
Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your
rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Have you ever left by the very
person you love, maybe it's your parents, children or siblings? When the loved
ones return to the Father, what would you do? Would you cry or resign? Mother of
Jesus, Mary Magdalene, which has been with Jesus for a long time, also
experienced grief when Jesus left her.
John
20:15
Jesus
said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She,
supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, "Sir, if You have carried
Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away."
When Jesus rose on the third
day, Jesus appeared to Mary, his mother. Losing Jesus for 3 days, she was very
sad. It is an evidence of Mary’s love of a mother. Perhaps, some of you have
felt what Maria felt: Losing a child or a mother, father, siblings and friends.
This time God reminds us that He
is eternal consolation. He is God who never leaves you even a second. When you
feel lonely, surely He is always with you. Besides, loneliness usually comes
when you face a lot of problems without anyone helping.
In fact, we will return to our
Father in Heaven, and it’s just about the timing. Keep believing that you will
never be alone.
When you feel lonely, try to
pray and read His word. God is present in your prayer and word you read. You
also have to join in a community of a church. You will be in a fellowship with
brothers and sisters of God. The purpose is to let them encourage you when you
are weak. Stand firm in the Lord!
Humans
are limited, but God’s comfort is eternal.
