Philippians 4:4a- “Always be joyful because you belong to the Lord.”
As a child, I always felt safe. I knew my parents were nearby and would take care of me.
When mother passed away two years ago, and Dad followed her eight months later, I felt an extreme loneliness.
Since then, Mother’s Day has been a bittersweet day for me.
Yes, I have wonderful adult children who make the day special for me. Still, I experience sadness and find myself taking consolation in the scriptures.
I read verses about God being with me and not forsaking me. I know He is always with me.
However, the verse I share today is especially comforting. It made me smile in the midst of my loneliness.
I belong to the Lord and that fact brings me great joy.
