Happy Monday

Alone, but not lonely!

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:20.

Some feel it in a crowd.
Others feel it when alone.
And some feel it during the holidays, such as Christmas.

Sociologists say that never before in history have so many people lived so close together and felt so far apart.
Loneliness is a major problem.

I propose to you that one can still be alone, but not lonely.

A person will never find victory over loneliness until he learns to enjoy being alone.
At the root of all loneliness is alienation from God.

Years ago, a man named Augustine espoused that God has made us for Himself.

Our soul is restless until we find rest in Him.

We may seek to fill the void with activities, crowds, and noise.
But a nagging loneliness will always be there until we have a personal relationship with God.

When we find that, we have found the key to being alone, but not lonely!
