Never Alone 

   “When you walk through a storm hold your head up high and don’t be afraid of the dark.  At the end of the storm there’s a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark. (“You’ll Never Walk Alone”, lyrics by Rogers and Hammerstein) 

   There are times when all seems dark.  Times when we’ve lost hope and see no way forward.  But hope is always there for us if we trust in the Lord.  If we lose that hope then we truly are lost in the darkness. 

   However, no matter what may come our way, we are never alone.  The Lord is with us always.  We get afraid, we feel as though we have been abandoned and we are all by ourselves; but it isn't true.  When we reach out to God, He will always be there to help us.

   Jesus promised us, “I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” (John 8: 12).  We all face times when it’s hard to find the light and we feel that we have no one to turn to, but the light is always there for us.  Even though we may not see it, the light of Christ is with us, the darkness cannot overcome Him.  If we trust the light, the light will lead us home though we may not even know the road we travel.

   So, as the song says, “Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart and you’ll never walk alone."
