Loneliness: The Greatest Scar Of Them All

When my husband Brian and I went on a tour to view the Wild Mustangs of McCullough Peaks of Wyoming, we first spotted a male all by himself.

The tour guide told us that when an old male Wild Mustang can no longer fight the other male Mustangs in the herd for a female Mustang, he is forced to live on his own. This is very difficult for the Wild Mustang because Mustangs are social animals. As a result, they do no live long afterwards. I felt so sad for the horse.
(If you click on the picture below, you will get a closer look. He is covered in scars.)

Sometimes, we may feel like we are all alone like this Mustang, but don't be afraid or get discouraged. The Lord says in His Word that He goes before us and will always be with us. We are never alone. There will never be a moment in time when God will leave us or forsake us.

"The Lord Himself goes before you

and will be with you;

He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Do not be afraid;

do not be discouraged."

Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV)
