I am not Alone
"Father God, please guide me as I write this article based on Your Word. Help me to write this to glorify You, and let Your words bring clarity to those who seek You. May Your truth help people discern and embrace correct beliefs. I pray and seek everything in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen."
Hi
there my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! I like to share a song sung by Kari Jobe, I am not Alone.
Diving in
There was a time in my life
when I felt utterly alone. My faith journey seemed solitary, and I
struggled to find meaningful connections with others who shared my
beliefs. But God, in His infinite wisdom, revealed to me a profound
truth: I was never truly alone. He transformed my isolation into a
rich fellowship, not just with people, but with the Holy Trinity.
This is the story of how I went from feeling alone to being embraced
by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and how the Bible guided
me through this journey.
The Loneliness of the
Journey
Loneliness is a powerful and often painful
experience. I remember feeling disconnected, yearning for a sense of
belonging and support. It was during this time that I found solace in
the Scriptures. Psalm 25:16-17 says, "Turn to me and be gracious
to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my
heart and free me from my anguish." These words resonated deeply
with me, reminding me that even in my loneliness, God was aware of my
pain and ready to provide comfort.
The Promise of
Fellowship with the Trinity
In the midst of my solitude, I
clung to the promises of God. One of the verses that gave me hope was
John 14:16-17, where Jesus says, "And I will ask the Father, and
he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you
forever—the Spirit of truth." This verse reassured me that
fellowship was not just a distant dream but a promise from Jesus
Himself. I began to pray earnestly for a deeper relationship with God
in all His fullness.
Experiencing the Presence of the
Father
God answered my prayers in ways I could have never
anticipated. He revealed Himself to me as a loving Father. Psalm
103:13 says, "As a father has compassion on his children, so the
Lord has compassion on those who fear him." I began to
experience God's love in a profound way, feeling His care and
compassion in every aspect of my life. The Father's love provided me
with a sense of security and belonging that I had longed
for.
Walking with Jesus Christ
At the same
time, Jesus Christ became more real to me. John 1:14 tells us, "The
Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his
glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father,
full of grace and truth." Jesus, in His grace, walked with me
through my struggles, offering His forgiveness, guidance, and
unwavering support. His grace was a constant reminder that I was
never alone, even in my darkest moments.
Guided by the
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit also played a crucial role in my
journey. John 14:26 says, "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and
will remind you of everything I have said to you." The Holy
Spirit became my constant companion, guiding me, teaching me, and
empowering me to live a life that honors God. Through the Spirit, I
found the strength to overcome my fears and doubts, and the wisdom to
navigate life's challenges.
The Trinity in Unity and
Distinction
One of the most profound aspects of my
fellowship with God was understanding the unity and distinction
within the Trinity. Sometimes, they are One, an inseparable unity
that envelops me in divine love and grace. Other times, they are
Three, each Person of the Trinity supporting me in unique ways. The
Father gives me love, Christ shows me His grace, and the Holy Spirit
helps me in my walk. This dynamic relationship has enriched my faith
and deepened my understanding of God's nature.
The Joy
of Shared Faith
One of the greatest joys of my fellowship
with the Trinity is the shared faith I experience. Psalm 133:1 says,
"How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together
in unity!" This unity with the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit brings a deep sense of joy and fulfillment. I worship God with
a heart full of gratitude, knowing that I am embraced by the divine
community.
The Strength in God's Presence
Ecclesiastes
4:12 beautifully illustrates the strength found in numbers: "Though
one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three
strands is not quickly broken." In my fellowship with the
Trinity, I find unparalleled strength and support. The Father's love
grounds me, Jesus' grace sustains me, and the Holy Spirit's guidance
empowers me. Together, they form a cord of three strands that cannot
be easily broken.
The Power of Prayer
Prayer
has become the lifeline of my relationship with the Trinity. James
5:16 reminds us, "Therefore confess your sins to each other and
pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a
righteous person is powerful and effective." Through prayer, I
communicate with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
experiencing their presence and power in my life. This practice
deepens my relationship with God and strengthens my
faith.
Overcoming Challenges with the Trinity
My
fellowship with the Trinity is not without its challenges. There are
times when I struggle to feel connected or when life's circumstances
threaten to pull me away. However, I am reminded of Colossians 3:13,
"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has
a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
By practicing forgiveness and relying on God's grace, I navigate
through these challenges and emerge stronger.
The Role
of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in
my fellowship with the Trinity. Jesus promised in John 14:16-17, "And
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help
you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth." The Holy
Spirit guides my thoughts, inspires my prayers, and unifies my heart
with the Father and the Son. Through the Spirit's guidance, my
fellowship with God thrives.
The Impact on My Life
The
impact of my fellowship with the Trinity extends beyond my personal
faith journey. I am more equipped to share the love of Christ with
others and to live out my faith in tangible ways. Acts 2:42 describes
the early church, saying, "They devoted themselves to the
apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and
to prayer." Inspired by this model, I strive to live a life that
reflects the love, grace, and power of the Trinity.
Wrapping
up
My journey from loneliness to fellowship with the Trinity
has been a testament to God's faithfulness and the power of His
presence. Through the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I have
experienced the truth of Ecclesiastes 4:12, "A cord of three
strands is not quickly broken." If you are feeling alone in your
faith journey, I encourage you to seek a deeper relationship with the
Trinity. Pray for God to reveal Himself to you in all His fullness.
Remember that you are never alone—God, in the unity and distinction
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, is always with you.
In
the end, I was alone, but now I have the fellowship of Three. And
this fellowship has transformed my faith, my life, and my
relationship with God. May you also experience the profound joy and
strength that come from being in fellowship with the Trinity.
