The other day, I found myself talking out loud. I was just saying things that raced through my head, and I found myself in a moment where I felt true loneliness. I couldn't tell you why I felt this, I just knew I did. So I did what any normal person would do.
I cried.
Now keep in mind, I don't like saying this. I hate revealing emotions. Even though I know we all do it, it's not especially something I like to share. I'm a 6 foot, 210 pound, bearded man, and I cried profusely. It's pretty obvious why.
We were not meant to be alone.
We were not created by a loving God just to be alone. We were not made in the image of the Giver, just to suffer by ourselves. We don't want to be alone, because we weren't meant to be. Now, I'm not saying this as, "You must be in a relationship to be happy." No, don't you twist my words readers. I'm saying we are loved, and are meant to surround ourselves with love. Friends, Family, Neighbors, anyone who you can surround yourself with. Don't allow yourself to be alone. God didn't place you here to weep and hurt because of your loneliness.
We were made in the image of Christ. If you choose not to believe this, well I'm sorry you feel that way, and I will pray for you. But truly i tell you, we were made to love, we were made to be loved, and we were chosen by He who is the Most High king, to be together. And when you truly feel alone? Well, just remember Isaiah 41:10: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Even when you feel no one else will ever accept you, no one else could ever love you, Remember he loved you enough to die for you. He pierced his hands for you. He bore the excruciating pain for you. He loved you enough to do that. He doesn't want you to be alone.
I've found great relationships in this life. I've found moments when I thought I couldn't Carry on with the loneliness I felt. Yet, when that happens, I always remember one thing.
I am NOT alone.
