One of the ironic consequences of the sweeping growth off the social media is we often find ourselves more personally isolated. One online article warns : Those who oppose leading ones life primarily or exclusively online claim that virtual friends are not adequate substitutes for real-world friends, and .. Individuals who substitute virtual friends for physical friends become even lonelier and more depressive than before. Technology aside all of us battle with seasons of loneliness wondering if anyone knows understands or cares about the burdens we carry or the struggles we face. But followers of Christ have an assurance that brings comfort our weary hearts. The comforting presence of the Savior is promised in words that are undeniable of the Psalmist David wrote, Yea, thought i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me Ps. 23:4). Whether isolated by our own choices, by the cultural trends that surround us, or by the painful losses of life, all who know Christ can rest in the presence of the Shepherd of our hearts. What a friend we have in Jesus.
