Lie Our Hearts Hear: “You’re alone.”
Truth Our Hearts Need: “Surely I am with you always.” – Jesus {Matt. 28:20}
We all have moments when we feel alone. In a world where everyone seems to be connected, it seems ironic that studies show we’re more isolated than ever before. That sense of separateness can create cracks that let lies slip into our hearts.
Lies that say, “Everyone has more friends than you.”
Lies that taunt, “Maybe you don’t really belong here.”
Lies that even accuse, “If anyone really knew you, you wouldn’t be loved the same.”
Can we shudder together at the ugliness of those words? And then can we say as sisters that we won’t listen to them anymore?
You are not alone. I am not alone. Even in the moments when we feel like we are.
God has promised He is with us, for us and will never leave us. Yesterday, today and forever we are surrounded by more love than we can even imagine.

*A few weeks ago I asked you, “What are lies the hearts of women are tempted to believe?” You shared many and I decided to do a Wednesday series on the most common ones. You can read all the posts here.
More truth to encourage you…
Kristen Strong lives the words of this post in her real life. Next week her first book, Girl Meets Change, will be released and I couldn’t be more excited for her! If you’ve experienced change or transition in your life, you’ll want to make sure to read her words. Because change is inevitable, but thriving through it is optional. . . . Every woman needs this inspiring and insightful message.
