I AM NEVER ALONE.

By Marcus Rainsford

Now, IF the Lord Jesus Christ has had His prayer answered—I suppose no one will doubt it—and all who believe upon Him are, according to the Lord's Word and His Father's Word, in union with Him, then see the consequences that follow. I never—I never can be alone. I have joys. I never can have them all to myself. He rejoices with me. I have sorrows. I can not monopolize them. Jesus knows them, sympathizes with me in them. I have temptations; He is touched with the feeling of them, for He was in all points tempted like as I am, yet without sin, that I might have a merciful High Priest, and might go to Him with confidence and present my petition to Him.

In this life I can be in no position of loneliness. Where I am, He is with me. Lying down on my bed, He is beside me. Rising in the morning, He is with me. Walking through the weary paths of life, He is with me—can not be separated from me. Otherwise this union is not true. As nothing that concerns me can concern me alone, even so nothing that concerns Jesus concerns Him alone.—Marcus Rainsford.
