LONELY

The eternal God is your refuge, 

and underneath are the everlasting arms.

DEUTERONOMY 33:27 

LONELINESS can be a cruel taskmaster of the soul, robbing us of our hope and joy. It turns our focus inward, pulling a dark curtain over our eyes so we can’t see God’s love for us. Even the psalmist cried out in complaint to the Lord, "You have taken my companions and loved ones from me; darkness is my closest friend" (Psalm 88:18).

But God desires to break through the dark clouds and restore our sense of purpose in life. He wants to deliver us from our loneliness so we can reach out to others again and fulfill our destiny. If we are living "solitary" lives. He wants to give us friends and family to connect with (Psalm 68:6).

Many Biblical heroes experienced feelings of rejection and loneliness, but during such times they drew near to God and discovered that He’s "a friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24).

In Christ,
