We Are Never Alone
The High School years are a very difficult time in life. They are filled with challenge, change, rebellion, and above all, loneliness. No matter how many people surround you, since you are always changing, you always seem alone. One of the most difficult things to remember is that it doesn't have to be that way.
Over the weekend after finals, our church Deaconess took four High School youth to Kansas City for a leadership retreat. Since I was the only junior that went, I was thrust into a group of new people, not knowing if I was going to make friends, or not. I got lucky.
The friends I made that weekend changed my life. I was accepted immediately, and through them, regained my confidence that it IS all right to be a High School Christian. They reminded me that we all have a constant friend in Jesus Christ. These lessons were probably some of the best gifts that I have ever been given. Hopefully, these new friendships will make the rest of the High School years just a little bit easier.
Prayer: Dear Lord, please help us to remember that we are never alone. We always have the fellowship of Your church and most importantly, the presence of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who is with us always. Amen.
