Left To Ourselves

Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant
and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.

Deuteronomy 7:9

At some point in our lives we will be left to ourselves... it is a part of living here on the earth with our mortal bodies and possessing selfish hearts. Some will leave us—whether through a deliberate act of walking out the door or through the passage of death—it happens. We were all built for relationship—first and foremost with our Creator God, who in turn has blessed us with the desire for relationship. There is a yearning in all to love and be loved... there is a longing to know and be known. If we should be so blessed as to find a special relationship in this life, we certainly do not want to lose it or take it for granted. As some of us tend to cling too tightly, and again some of us take it for granted. But the truth be told, none of us wants this relationship to change or ever stop. Not one of us wants to lose or let go of someone we love; when we truly look inside and see the love we have for them in our heart. This relationship is comfortable, it brings stability and a sense of well-being. We just know that we belong and feel as though nothing could ever separate us. Though we may feel as though we are left to ourselves at some point in our lives, we have the assurance that God will be faithful to us and always be with us for thousand of generations as we continue to love and keep His commandments.
