http://www.gospelines.com "Nobody knows it but me" Alan spoke of his fear of being alone in quiet, tearful tones. Surrounded by people all day, nevertheless, the separation he felt had become overwhelming. He needed to know about the One who will never leave you alone! It was a heaven-sent opportunity to share my rich faith with him, and describe a life without fear and loneliness. It's a life shared with Jesus as an ever-present Companion, and one in which you cherish those moments apart from the crowd so that you can have one-on-One time with your Creator. I was searching for the source of a beautiful poem I heard on a Chevrolet commercial entitled "Nobody Knows It But Me." Arguably, it was written by a professional commercial writer, Patrick O'Leary. However, Mark Weise said that 24 years ago on his 30th day alone on the Appalachian Trail, he hadn't seen a soul for three days. "I was in awe of the beauty, but feeling pretty lonely, so I wrote these words in my journal": There's a place that I go to When I want to roam, And nobody knows it but me. There's no trail that leads there And I go there alone And nobody knows it but me. It's far, far away At the edge of nowhere It's far past the moon and the sea. And whenever I get there I know that I'm home And nobody knows it but me. (Mark said he turned the poem in as an assignment for a freshman comprehension class and it got published in the school newspaper.) Beloved, There is nothing like being alone... WITH GOD! A marvelous perk of the Christian life is that we are never truly alone at all. Wherever we are, we are at home with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The lyrics of Rogers and Hammerstein are more descriptive of my walk with Christ. Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone. GospeLines Prayer: Awesome God, whether I travel the highways of the city, the streets of suburbia, or the byways of the desert places... YOU ARE WITH ME! I am directed and protected by Your rod and your staff; therefore, "I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me." O.
