Loneliness

At times in our lives we feel lonely, like no one cares about us. I myself feel random moments of loneliness. Even in a room full of people you can feel all alone emotionally. Where does that feeling come from? One minute you can be living on top of the world, feeling all the love and support from family and friends and then the next minute you feel empty and lonely inside. I have come to the realization that loneliness is a toxic weapon from the devil, that tricks you into believing no one cares about you.

We feel alone when we aren't in the will of God. And when we leave God, because we know He doesn't leave us. Hebrews 13:5, Deuteronomy 31:6,8 ..."for he hath said I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" KJV. When we look for people to take the place of God in our lives; whether for approval, advice etc. We may take God out the picture.  

In various times of my life I felt lonely. I remember in 2009 I felt all alone, but it was a transitional part in my life. I was coming back to God. My friends left me when I decided not to drink, and party. I clung to the only thing I knew and that was God. I knew at that moment that God had something greater ahead of me. I fell in love with an incredible man of God and I knew that I could not go back to the lifestyle I used to live. Yes, I was saved and filled with the Holy Ghost but I left God when I came to college. Not intentionally at first but I did. But I thank God for sending me someone who could help bring me out, because I was weak.

If you feel like this all you have to do is surrender to God. Give Him the worry, anxiety, depression, party lifestyle, whatever it may be. He wants you to give it to Him. Now remember, there is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Be free in Christ
