I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. Psalm 102:7
What is more pathetic than a sparrow alone? Usually this bird mingles in chattering groups. When alone it becomes a picture of forlornness. Sometimes we too feel alone and express it saying, “No one understands.” And possibly no one does. We may have a companion but no communion. This unique grief wrenches the
heart. Each one of us bears a cross that is our very own. However, the Lord loves to single out the individual and just like Mary at the tomb, in the midst of our sorrow, He calls us by name (John 20). He makes us feel accepted even when others fail us. —E. Dyck
He knows, He loves, He cares, nothing this truth can dim;
He gives the very best to those, who leave the choice to Him. —Author Unknown
