Good morning Lovelies, God is moving whether you see Him or not. I know that He has something for me and will provide an increase in every area of my life. Father, thank You for the gift of today and for your grace and mercy in each new day. Thank You for my family and friends. Thank You for the strength You give me each day and for people around me who make my life more meaningful. Father, as I go about my day, I ask You to bless me to be a blessing. In the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen!
Lonely days are no fun. We all have them. Whether we are married, single, or divorced, you will have some lonely days. But it seems that some people have more lonely days than others. It seems like those with higher callings on their lives are usually people that struggle with loneliness. It’s almost like God sets you apart or calls you out of unfruitful past friendships and relationships, and then keeps you alone to Himself for a short period to work things out of you.
Many of us were so dependent on a man or a woman in our lives that we totally ignored God and couldn’t connect with Him as we needed to for the sake of our calling. So what did God do? Take everyone away from us for a season, so we can be with Him alone. But where does the loneliness come from?
Loneliness usually comes when you have developed a need for others. I know many will agree with this, because when you have spent your life living for others, depending on people to validate you, chasing friends and friendships, always needing people around to make you feel wanted or needed, then when you are suddenly alone you feel very lonely.
But, if you suffer from any of these issues, loneliness is what you need! Not, forever, but at least for a season. You see, Jesus wants to be that friend you are searching for. Don’t you know that God put a need for Himself in your life? Your purpose lies in Him, so you must know why you are you! And when you spend your life chasing friends or using people to find yourself, all you end up doing is having a bunch of one-sided relationships. Or, failed relationships because you are searching for answers in the wrong places.
Loneliness becomes a curse to you even though being alone can be an asset. Jesus said in His Word, that He is your friend and He will not leave you comfortless. He wants you to be His friend and to find yourself in Him! So, the next time you are feeling lonely or all alone, rejoice because He is working the fake friendships and relationships out of you and working on His relationship with Him!
“I’m no longer calling you servants because servants don’t understand what their master is thinking and planning. No, I’ve named you friends because I’ve let you in on everything I’ve heard from the Father.” John 15:15
Love life, give people hope and share your heart, wisdom, and resources. Never place a period where God says there should be a comma. As always peace and blessings, be safe. Take advantage of your opportunities but never allow your opportunities to take advantage of you. Remember God loves you and so do I. krw © 9.19.2020
