Life obviously has it challenges, setbacks, trials and even joys and celebrations. Regardless how long one lives, it is apparent that life is not easy or worry free. Even Jesus foretold of life’s journey on this Earth in John 16:33 , “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” As a Christian, I am beyond grateful that I have Jesus Christ as Savior and a Heavenly Father who is my strong tower…a fortress and refuge in this world (Psalm 61:2-4). I am thankful for such comforting promises such as Hebrews 13:5 , “God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” It is comforting to know that God is always with us in the good, bad and the ugly. His indwelling Holy Spirit will never abandon us and leave us fending for ourselves. Jesus Christ, dwells with us as our Savior and Lord, has afforded us eternal life, friendship with God (John 15:14-15), and joy unspeakable. We are assured that, no matter what, we are never alone, abandoned
