Loneliness

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Do you ever get lonely? I mean even when there are tons of people around do you ever feel so alone you could scream? I know that feeling well. Being a child who grew up alone and for “punishment”  was sent away to be alone, it become a feeling of overwhelming emptiness.

I am thankful for the gracious Word of God that reminds me that Jesus promises to never leave us or forsake us. I find great comfort in that Word, in that promise. I believe it too. Yet, if I am honest, the feeling still hovers around, that empty lonely feeling. I try to stay busy, stay active, pray, hang out with those who love me and still it lingers at the edges. What do you do? How do you look the enemy in the face and tell it that there is no power greater than God’s?

I want you to know I’m here for you when you are lonely, I am never to busy to help a brother or sister out of that trap. I hope you will be present to offer your hand to me when that same trap captures me.

Together? Maybe we aren’t alone in this physical world and the spiritual world can be here now. I long to hear your thoughts.

the bloggerToday, I am beginning to Blog. Yep, I’m trying to come into the 21st Century. I think change is important and keeping up with the time is vital especially with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So here I am. I hope to post weekly blogs of a helpful nature. You are welcome to comment or not comment. I only ask that your comments be made in love as I’m understanding that older I get the more sensitive I am getting (LOL). Some of you may say, “He’s just getting that fact?” Ok you may have something there but my sensitivity is a part of who I am and after 40 so years (ok 48 years 358 days) I am accepting myself. But I know I can change; just like this blogging.

Pray for me as I seek to reach out with love and with the heart of Christ. I will pray for you every day … all day long as I move in and out of my task.

Grace and peace,

Dana
