The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. — Psalm 145:14
How many of us have been humbled by a sin we thought we had defeated? How many of us have walked through humiliating circumstances — the loss of wealth or health or reputation?
A down-and-out person has very few friends. Sure, there are people who will "minister" to them, but there is a huge difference between ministry and friendship.
Most of us know what it’s like to fall. I want you to know that you do have a Friend when you fall. When no one else understands, and no one else cares — when everyone else is busy pointing their fingers at you and labeling your fall your own fault, there is One who upholds those who fall.
He is near and He will not desert you.
Be encouraged!
