If you are struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, or you are a homosexual, or you are feeling alone and unloved, or feeling abandoned, I want you to know that Jesus loves you. He knows you by name. He knows you are lonely and in pain. He knows how hard it has been for you and how much you are struggling. He sees your tears. He feels your pain. Call out to Him. He says, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden [carrying a burden] and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) He is as near as a prayer. May you come to know Him as your best friend. He will never abandon you.
