Loneliness vs. Alone With God

I know a lot of lonely people. Some people get married because they don’t want to be alone. Some people tolerate toxic people in their lives to keep from being alone. People get depressed and mostly because they feel alone. Feeling alone causes sadness, grief, sorrow, hopelessness even. Loneliness is harmful, detrimental even.

The truth is that we are never alone. Lonely is a lie from the devil. Sometimes we are alone with God. We can only enjoy the benefits (peace, joy, love, comfort, etc) of God’s presence when we humbly open our hearts and line of communication with Him. The moment we do that, He rushes into our hearts to provide love and comfort and let us feel Him there. Yes, may be some time and prayer before a beneficial person is provided, but His spiritual presence is no less real.

Lonely is horrible and a lie. Alone with God is beautiful and the truth! You get to choose!!😄❤

Never Friendless

It is a shame whenever I hear of some people feeling alone or friendless. We never are alone and we are never friendless. That is a lie of the enemy. That is their M.O., what they do, all they do. Enemies lie because they want us dead or defeated otherwise. The truth of the matter is that anytime we humbly ask for it, we have a loving (and incredibly powerful) friend in Jesus Christ. God is always everywhere and with us always and will let us feel that when we humbly ask Him to and draw close to Him. He absolutely loves us and we are saved through Jesus’ sacrifice and nd resurrection. My daughter asked me to draw Jesus on the cross and I never will because He is not there. I serve a risen Lord. He is interceding on our behalf in heaven right now, on a throne in glory and power and love. We are still under His grace until He returns. Stay in His grace is my greatest advice. He is our friend. In fact, He us the greatest friend to those who are friendless, those alone, those suffering. His heart breaks and He is more present for them, more eager to be called upon and wanted. You are never alone or friendless. I am never alone or friendless. Reach out to Jesus. Hold on tight. If Jesus is andll you have, you have the best of anything or anyone you could ever possibly need or want. Jesus us the lover of my soul and my heart is full because of His love. Never friendless. Never alone. If you feel that way, it is your pride and the enemy’s lies you are fostering. Truth is this. You are never ever alone or friendless when you humbly pray to Jesus and draw close to Him. He is hoping you will. He died and rose to get that chance.

After the People Go

When everything is happening, I am distracted. I am focused. I am weapy but not falling apart. I am a put together mockery of fine. I have the all is well mask on. I am strong for those around me who might be hurt by what I am going through. I weep with those who weep but I am strong to keep people from weeping on my behalf. I would rather be happy than sad but if I am going to be sad, I want to be sad alone where it doesn’t give anyone else sadnss. There is simply enough of that in this world without me contributing. I will always be fine. I maybe alone and feel alone without my loved ones with me but I am never alone. I am a child of God. He is always with me because He is there before I get there, is with me now, and was with me the entire time. No one knows me better than Jesus. And when the pain of loss tears me down to my knees alone in my room after everyone sleeps and tears flow readily and abundantly from my eyes, I share that experience with the only One who truly gets me and loves me unconditionally and will never ever ever leave me. His love loves perfectly. His love does not throw away or abandon for a better situation. His love does not die. His love does not seek to tell me how to feel or what to do or criticize me or my tears. Jesus is the lover of my soul, my hero, my Father, my comforter in every way. So do not be sad when I choose to hoard and save up my sad places and only share them with Jesus. I am fine, I am OK truly with all my heart because Jesus loves me. I sang that song to Daddy as I held him in my arms and he went off to sing it in heaven. Jesus loves me. It is a song sung for children but is the strongest message in the universe. Jesus, God loves us. We know it to be true. He will never leave us alone. He will not abandon us. He always cares. There is never a moment He is not there caring. Because His Spirit lives inside us. Amazing love! Do not cry for me. Jesus is comforting me and I will be with Daddy again in heaven when He chooses to take me there. Until then I will keep busy serving Him and helping as much as I can and teaching my babies to love Him and love my husband. Do not worry. I am quieter because I am listening for quiet words of comfort in my soul. I am changed but I am stronger and wiser from the struggles. And isn’t that what they are for?

As I Walk Through Mud Alone, a Poem

As I walk through mud alone, I trip and Wade through its murky gloom

My Dad would carry me when asked, My love would offer me the moon.

And now I walk alone through mud, the rain beats down upon my head

And look before through crying eyes, I see beside the path a shed.

I enter, happy to be sheltered there, not knowing whose this shed may be

And Jesus was lovingly standing there, saying He built this shed for me.

He wanted to remind what I had misplaced, that He was the One I had forgotten 

And that no matter who was or was not there, I was never where He was not.

The rain, it stopped upon revelation, alone was I not ever or the future.

And sunny it was, and even if raining, I would have peace in any disaster.
We never walk alone. We may walk lonely sometimes without familiar faces, but we are never alone and God sends us who and what we need when we need it. Every time. Remember to spend time with the only truly faithful One. He loves us so much.
