So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are His lovers who have been called to fulfill His designed purpose. Romans 8:28 TPT
Loneliness is, therefore, a state of mind, an emotion brought on by feelings of separation from other human beings. The sense of isolation is very deeply felt by those who are lonely.
There are approximately 108 verses that speak to the isolation feeling of loneliness.
As I sit here alone with my thoughts many questions come to my mind. I don’t know about you, but I have so many God why questions.??
Do you ever question why God made man? He has a perfect home in Heaven. Why does He want to take time with us? Why does He love us so deeply? Many of us are familiar with the scripture. 1 John 4:7-8 God is Love. Love is an amazing gift! I believe the more love you give away the more you receive.
I also believe He made man for the most important heartfelt reason “To love and to be loved.”
It has been scientifically proven with plants .. the ones that receive care (love) flourishes..while the ones that were ignored withered away and were at risk of dying.
God needs our love. He chases it. He craves it.
In order for Him to grow His LOVE, it needs to be shared. He is the very essence of LOVE. It would be a tragedy if He had no one to share His gift of love with. He shares it in such a beautifully intimate way!! He inhabits that special place within our hearts and souls.
Some will say He has Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He does not need man. Yes, that is a true fact. However, we have our mind, body, and spirit, (Man's Trinity). Does this mean we are in our own company and should never feel lonely?
Have you ever wondered if God is lonely? I have! And I would like to share this scripture with you. "And God said, "Let us make man in our image." Genesis 1:26-28
This points me to the conclusion that God experiences all the same emotions that man does. He knows the crushing pain of loneliness, and disappointment when His children turn away.
I do think at some time in our life we have been touched by some form of loneliness. So we can relate to the sadness this word brings to our lives.
I will admit, there have times in my journey that I have felt deserted by some. Because they did not understand the magnitude of this LOVE and pulled away... I have felt lost and I have felt lonely, and even betrayed.
However, it was in my darkest hour and my loneliness day’s I found His LOVE.
It’s a love that understands the heartbreak and the uncertainties that may accompany loneliness and this type of heartfelt pain.
But I found comfort hidden in pages of His word. I found my validation. In Deuteronomy 31:6, it says “Be strong and courageous; “He will never leave you nor forsake you.”
I have found He that embraces you! Day or night! He will hold your heart in His hands. And He will fill your soul with a love that will heal your mind, body, and soul... Find Him, Love Him. Spend time with Him.
Your life will never be the same.. and it’s all because of a love greater than we could even imagine!
With Him, we are never alone. He is with us always, until the end of time.
It's Him, It’s always Him.
If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us. Romans 8:31-38
