“He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him”. John 1:10-11
There is a difference between loneliness and being alone. You can be alone without being lonely. There is no reason why you should be overwhelmed when you know Christ. After all, he knows a thing or two about being alone. He was rejected by his own people, misunderstood in his own town. If anyone can fill your lonely days with love and understand, it is Christ. He understands exactly what you are going through because He’s been there. I recently read a quote by the late Switzerland Christian psychiatrist, Dr.Paul Tournier “Loneliness is the most devastating malady of this age”. Now we know that to be true in some cases because people are spending a fortune in trying to find a person to share their lives with. They have places that charge per the hour for companionship. Loneliness is usually the result of a broken promise/a broken heart. The Bible says that Jesus came to heal the broken-hearted. You don’t have to be lonely anymore.
People say, well…”I need a real person. I am a human being” and I say Jesus is real. He understands you better than anyone. You can find refuge in Him and unlike other friends; He will never leave nor forsake you, amen. He wants a relationship with you more than you want one with Him. He cares about your heart; He will not break His promises. He can be your one and only true friend, if you let Him. He can and will fill that void in your heart. His invitation to you has not changed. “Come to me, all you weary and burdened I will give you rest”. Matthew 11:28. He wants to comfort you and lighten the load if you allow Him access to your heart. If I were you, I wouldn’t carry my load by myself, when I really don’t have to.
Choose to rest in the right arm. Stop the pattern of deceit by running to the same type of people who always let you down and break your heart. Jesus love will fulfill your needs. Your longing can only be satisfied by His true love. Turn your back on loneliness for good. Turn your back on brokenness for good. Turn your back on pain for good. Turn your back on a lifetime of lack and say hello to abundance. “I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly”. John 10:10
Will you choose Him today? Make the choice. Confess it loudly. You don’t have to experience loneliness another day of your life.
Praise the Lord!
