Loneliness

Loneliness.........

If there is one word that I truly despise, it is "LONELINESS". Maybe because it is the most painful feeling that I think any of us can experience in this life. To feel alone is like no other feeling. We all have, at some point in our lives, experienced feeling truly "alone". This truth brings fear to most. None of us want to be alone in this life. The mere fact that we are "alone" makes us feel insecure and unwanted. It makes us doubt our self and wonder why it is that no one would "want us". I have felt alone at many different times in my life and it seems to be so painful. This is not the truth.

The truth is that we are NEVER alone! As a child of God, He is always with us! What joy and peace this truth brings! In scripture God tell us that He will "never leave me, or forsake me". I have found security in the fact that my Saviour is always standing right beside me. He holds me in His arms and comforts my heart. Literally, I feel His arms around me sometimes when I cry out to Him. He catches every tear that I cry. Thankfully, He brings others into my life to hug me and hold me when I need a physical touch. I am truly never alone! I have peace knowing that He walks beside me every moment of every day. I have to remind myself of this truth when the enemy comes and prays on my weakness as a single woman. I have to remember that God is my Beloved. He is the Father to the fatherless, and is close to the brokenhearted. He brings strength to the weak and shelter to the oppressed.

He is our refuge in times of trouble. He brought the Israelites out of bondage so many times in the Old Testament. He delivers us today from our bondage of fear and insecurity. He holds every tear that we shed in His palms. I cry out to Jesus in the times that I feel afraid or alone and He comforts me. His Holy Spirit dwells within me. I have a spirit of POWER, not of fear! He has already overcome every weakness and His strength is PERFECT. When I am weak, He is strong.

If you are feeling alone today, cry out to Jesus! He is all you need!

Blessings!
