A
young man, planning to take his life by leaping from a hotel window,
knocked a Gideon Bible off the table as he moved towards the window. In
the fall, the Bible opened. Curious to see just what it said where it
opened, he read this verse: You … will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me (John 16:32 NKJ).
The
man’s wife had left him, and it seemed that that passage was a direct
message to him. He sat down and read it over and over. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
Wanting
to know more about that Father, he read other passages, and read on and
on into the night. And such a wonderful thing happened-he received hope
from the Author of those pages, and both his life and soul were
miraculously saved.
To
every one of us, from time to time, there comes a sense of utter
loneliness. Some tears are always shed alone. No other human being can
ever enter the deepest recesses of our mind or heart or soul.
But why?
Because God made us for Himself. He desires our love. He put a little
sign on the table of your heart, which reads, “Reserved for Me.” In
every heart, He wishes to be first. He therefore keeps the secret key
Himself, the key to open all our hearts’ chambers and to bless with
perfect sympathy and peace each solitary soul that comes to Him.
So
when you feel this loneliness, it is the voice of Jesus saying, “Come
to Me.” And every time you feel that no one understands, it is a call
for you to come to Him again.culled:Virginia Berg
