.... it is not good...

 ... The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.".......
Whenever I have read this before or heard any sermon about it it was always in regards to what the roles in a marriage are...
I learned that well and I am blessed by the way a woman is supposed to be the helpmate for her husband and how she complements, makes whole the man in her life. Together we reflect the image of God..


Lately, being alone, this has spoken to me in a much different way...
It is not good for man to be alone... it is not good for woman to be alone... it is not good for mother to be alone to bring up her child and deal with all that can mean at different times... being alone in that way does not necessarily mean we are not in a marriage... actually  being alone and left with the whole responsibility of bringing up a child while in a marriage is even more sad......


It is not good to be alone.... we never are, even if there is no spouse or companion, we know that Jesus always is right there with us...


So "alone" as I am, I prayed, and I found the support I needed, the sounding board I needed, the strength I needed and for sure the wisdom I needed.. to meet the needs my little one had today.


I still would rather not be alone, because if God said it and He did something about it right away, there has to be a reason for that... it is not good for man to be alone... I will make a helper suitable for him...


To go to the Lord  together and find the strength, wisdom and support, now that would be heaven on earth, don't you think....


But I am going to wait on Him, because He alone knows when the fullness of time will come...when it will be time for me to not be alone anymore and who I am going to be "not alone anymore" with.... Hallelujah...praise the Lord, oh my soul...who loves me with an unfailing love that is new every morning...
