We are sometimes alone in our faith...and that aloneness would be painful if it wasn't for the presence of our heavenly Father.

Our willingness to stand alone before God is the bedrock test of servanthood and faith.

It is easy to stand with the crowd --- to do God’s will as long as we know that others will agree with us.

But from God’s perspective, the life of a true servant requires solitude, an intense faith to follow Him, and a desire to serve Him without notable recognition.
