Alone? - "Never Alone" by BarlowGirl

I waited for You… today.
But you didn't show—oh no, no.
I needed You… today.
So where did you go?

We cannot separate; You're a part of me.
And though You're invisible, I'll trust the unseen.

I cried out with no reply, and
I can't feel You by my side, so
I'll hold tight to what I know:
I'm never… alone.

"Never Alone" by BarlowGirl, verse 1 & chorus

Sometimes, with pop Christian music blaring in my ear, I get sick of how great and cozy they all feel. (Well, most of them, anyway.) The emphasis on feeling close to God in particular irritates me.

I'm not emotionally oriented. I don't let myself be, because it doesn't matter how I feel—I could feel like Satan's a great guy all I want; it wouldn't make it true. The same goes for feeling upset about someone's good news that destroys from secret frivolous hope of yours, even when you know that you're actually glad for that person, and that it's a good thing for you, too.

Emotions are deceptive. Feelings don't change the facts, and the fact is that the children of God are never alone.

Even when we can't feel Him by our sides.

is such a personal thing that it is hard for me to isolate one church and say "that's the one!" I am a Christian because I like the teachings of Jesus. He makes the most sense to me and I find His words I can relate to.

That's true.

My family bounced from church to church—when we went to church—for years before we found the one we attend now. And even this one has problems.

Well, surprise! Fling a multitude of sinners together (i.e., the church family), and you get… a mess! ^_^ Picking a church family is extremely difficult. I remember what it's like. I'll pray that you find one!

& thank you for your thoughtful input!
