Never Alone | July 4th

"The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry."

Psalm 34:15

Beloved, do you feel unheard or invisible? At some point in life, we may feel this way, as if no one sees us or understands what we are feeling.

We share our thoughts only to be dismissed. We try to explain how we are feeling, only to be ignored. Sometimes people we share with seem more concerned about their feelings. Such experiences add to the loneliness and frustration.

Take heart today for your God sees you. He knows what concerns you today and is for you. He hears you cry. The Lord knows your inmost thoughts before a word is spoken. He invites you to cast all your care upon Him for He cares for you. The Lord loves you and will help you.

In Christ Alone.

What Kind of Love | July 3rd

"See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God: and so we are."

1 John 3:1

Beloved, do you know that the Father loves you? The love He has for you is so great that the Father calls you His own. You are called a child of God.

When we regard how unworthy we are of such love, it is humbling to know that the Father has made us His own in Christ. We are called the children of God, but this is not a mere term of endearment. It is not a nickname or sentimental gesture without any basis in truth.

We are called the children of God, and so we are. Suppose you have no family in this world, and you feel hopeless and alone. Let not your heart be dismayed. You belong to God, and He has claimed you as your own. The Father will never forsake you, and He loves you without end.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

Little Children | July 2nd

"My little children."

John 2:1

It serves as a good reminder that we are God's children. We will always need our Savior, the work of the Holy Spirit, and our Father's mercy. God has never asked us to get by on our own. Let us stop trying to do things in our own strength and wisdom.

We are saved by grace alone and remain in constant need of God's mercy. Just as a child depends on the love and provision of its parents, so we are dependent on the heavenly Father.

You are not in this world alone. You are not dependent upon yourself. God is with you.

In Christ Alone.
