Have we ever considered what it means to be alone, and how it can sometimes be pleasant to be without people around us, while at other times it is pure misery or sorrow? Yet, being alone when it comes to being separated from, or left without God, is never good. Last night Pastor L. H. Hardwick, the most amazing man of God I have ever personally known, went to be with the Lord, and today I feel an emptiness associated with his death, but as I prayed through the night I felt close to God as I was comforted by His presence.
