Do you ever feel like its you against the world? You, all alone, no one else? Maybe even abandoned? “No one could possibly understand how I feel. No one knows what I am going through.”
These are the thoughts of a lonely person. We all go through periods on this journey when we feel we are the only ones making the trip. That is normal and dare I say . . . healthy.
You see, it is in our lonely times that we really meet God. Our tendency is to stay busy – to stay occupied. We try to fill ourselves with media, friends, work, stuff – but none of that satisfies. It is when we are truly alone and there is no one or no thing to turn to that we can fully connect with God. And that is the essence of our existence in the first place.
Aren’t we simple creatures!
Our lives are meant to be simple – keep our focus off of ourselves and on God – everything else falls into place.
So remember – when you feel lonely – you are never truly alone. God is there and it is in those lonely times you can really connect – really find the savior who loves you.
Take heart – you are not alone!
