"You've always been right there for me; don't turn your back on me now. Don't throw me out, don't abandon me; you've always kept the door open. My father and mother walked out and left me, but GOD took me in." Psalm 27:9-10 The Message
Do you feel out on a limb and alone?
Do you feel abandoned?
There have been times in my life when I have felt abandoned. During those times, GOD took me in. He was always there for me. He never turned HIS back on me. I am here today, because HE loved me when it felt as though no one else did.
A heart forever changed,
Andrea

Praising God with you sis, He never leaves us, never. I love you.

Yes Andrea I have felt that way but I remember the verse that He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is with us always. Praise Him for that.
Hugs,
Mimi
Wonderful encouragement Andrea! He is here, with me and for me.
I've known what it's like to be all alone and I, too, am so grateful that God is faithful. Even when I've not been faithful to Him, He has been faithful.
No mom and no dad, but I don't feel alone! God is with me at all times.
Amen Andrea. He is there with us always.
Blessings,
Marcia

Dearest Andrea,
It's comforting to know that He is always with us...never ever leaving us alone. Oh how I love Him so.
Big Hugs,

I double posted the same comment, thus the reason for deleting.
I really need to go to bed, can't you tell?
Love you,

Yes I have felt that way before, but thankfully not now. He is always there with us, walking beside us, and never forsaking us. How can't we praise a God like that?
Beautiful post, Andrea.
Hugs,
Carol
Those times, when it's just you and God, can be awful and wonderful at the same time.
Comforting words that I cherish to hear now! Blessings.
I thank God for the seasons in my life that seemed a barren wasteland at the time. In retrospect (20/20 hindsight), I can see they were the fertile soil He used for great dependence upon Him.
Blessings,

Dearest Andrea, so many people will resonate with that scripture and todays message.
You and your blog are an example of good works, bringing peace of mind to the disheartened.
Peace and serenity to you, sweet lady!

I thank Him everyday for this:
"He never turned HIS back on me. I am here today, because HE loved me when it felt as though no one else did."
yea and Amen~!
Yes I have felt abandoned and alone....too many times to count BUT as the years go by and my relationship grows in HIM I can see clearly that HE was and IS with me at ALL TIMES! I praise HIM and am humbled by that each and every day and in every circumstance!
Love you Andrea
What a beautiful truth - God never forsakes us! Makes me think of the verse: "He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep."
God is the only truly faithful one, isn't he?
I enjoyed my visit today Andrea! Have a beautiful day.
Love,
Lynnette :)
Psalm 27 is "mine". I read it and I see "wait" but seeing this part, I'm taken back to the message He seems to be repeating over and over and that's "I love you"!
Thank you for the reminder and THANK YOU for being such a sweet and faithful commenter.
You know it, Andrea! I've been out there and He's always there with me!
Thank you, Andrea for these words of encouragement. Yes, there are times I feel out on a limb alone. So thankful He is there.
A heart forever changed! Hallelujah!
Wylie
Amen, wonderful post.
What a touching word. Again, your choices hit right when I need to hear them. You are doing something very right, Andrea. Thanks for sensing His timing.
NOthing like personal testimony to put flesh on the great promises of God. Thanks for sharing.
Isn't it a great promise? God will never leave us or forsake us, or leave us "out on a limb"!
I love this Psalm! A wonderful promise!
The picture is perfect to call to mind this great truth about God!
What a great reminder that God will never leave us.
Kate
Amen!
thank you fro that encouragement.
And, thanks for the birthday wishes :)
I am so thankful that our Abba never leaves us to bear a heavy load.. He is always here for us, isn't that such a comforting thought? We always can trust Him.. He never lets us down, ever, sister... Praise God !!
You are so faithful in encouraging me, and others.. I know I am very blessed to call you friend!!

Yes Andrea, he has always been with me, yet I feel abandoned cos we are living in this world filled with kin folk and yet we are worlds apart. In the end, there is only God. Blessings.
Dear Andrea,
Beautiful and amen.

I'm praising God with you, that we belong to a God who does not abandon nor forsake us.
I am so glad to know that He won't ever leave me. He is always so faithful and I can't imagine living my life without having the hope that comes from Him!
Have you tried reading my blog in another browser? Even I can't read it in Internet Explorer. I have to use Mozilla (Firefox). I hope that'll work for you!

When we feel He is nowhere, it is then that He is now here!
God bless you, sister!

Michelle
Very encouraging post! Thank you! :-)
A lovely,encouraging post! Thank you for all the lovely comments you have left on my blog. They always give me such a lift
God bless!
Andrea:
Since God is always there for me, I have a greater degree of confidence than I had when I was younger. That confidence is in Him.
Yes, I have had those times but found out later that He was always there at my side.
Thank you for this.
It's so comforting to know that God is always there.
I can attest to that, He is always there when I need Him the most!
Wonderful post....He is so faithful to us!
Thank you for this! I am making my way back to Him, and I know He is waiting with open arms. Love you!
