Jacob 6: 4-5, Jacob 5: 47 and Jacob 5: 60-61

Have you ever felt alone before?

"4 And how merciful is our God unto us, for he remembereth the house of Israel, both roots and branches; and he stretches forth his hands unto them all the day long; and they are a stiffnecked and a gainsaying people; but as many as will not harden their hearts shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

5 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I beseech of you in words of soberness that ye would repent, and come with full purpose of heart, and cleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you. And while his arm of mercy is extended towards you in the light of the day, harden not your hearts. (Jacob 6: 4-5)

"47 But ^awhat could I have done more in my vineyard? Have I slackened mine hand, that I have not nourished it? Nay, I have nourished it, and I have digged about it, and I have pruned it, and I have dunged it; and I have ^bstretched forth mine ^chand almost all the day long, and the ^dend draweth nigh. And it grieveth me that I should hew down all the trees of my vineyard, and cast them into the fire that they should be burned. Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard?" (Jacob 5: 47)

"51 And the Lord said: Yea, I will spare it a little longer, for it grieveth me that I should lose the trees of my vineyard." (Jacob 5: 51)

"60 And because that I have preserved the natural branches and the roots thereof, and that I have grafted in the natural branches again into their mother tree, and have preserved the roots of their mother tree, that, perhaps, the trees of my vineyard may bring forth again good ^afruit; and that I may have joy again in the fruit of my vineyard, and, perhaps, that I may rejoice exceedingly that I have preserved the roots and the branches of the first fruit—

61 Wherefore, go to, and call ^aservants, that we may ^blabor diligently with our might in the vineyard, that we may ^cprepare the way, that I may bring forth again the natural fruit, which natural fruit is good and the most precious above all other fruit." (Jacob 5: 60-61)

And here's the commentary entitled: "The Lord remembers His people in love and mercy":

"One meaning of the word cleave is to adhere to or stick to something firmly, closely, and unwaveringly. How does that definition affect the way you understand Jacob 6:4–5? In the story of the olive tree, how did the Lord of the vineyard extend his “arm of mercy”? (see, for example, Jacob 5:47, 51, 60–61, 71–72). How has He done this for you?

I did feel alone before. And I realized I felt that way because I gave in to the temptation to feel that way. I am the one making the choice of how I'm feeling. And even though I felt alone or gave in to temptations because of my own choice, during those moments that I was tempted, I've always felt the hand of God gently guiding me back to the right path as I'm reminded through His Spirit (the still small voice) of my vision of the future and how I needed to align my decisions with it.
