Never Alone

Are you ever lonely?

Most of us go through lonely periods. It might be after moving to a new location where we have no friends or when we're going through one of life's transitions, such as becoming an empty-nester or after the death of a loved one, etc.

We can also feel lonely in a house full of children or a room full of friends because loneliness is sometimes simply a reminder that we have an emptiness that nothing on earth can fill. There will always be a little empty place in our hearts until we see Jesus face-to-face.

When feeling lonely, we can remember these truths:

1. We're never really alone, even when we feel lonely.

Even though we won't feel fully "at home" until we join our Lord in heaven, God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). See also Romans 8:35-39.

2. Loneliness gives us time to draw closer to the Lord.

We may not understand our loneliness this side of heaven (1 Corinthians 13:12). But we know that God has plans and purposes for each of us (Jeremiah 29:11; Ephesians 2:10). And we can use our time to wholeheartedly seek the Lord, giving Him our full attention and getting to know Him better.  

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

It's good to dwell on these truths whenever we're feeling lonely.
