The Power of Loneliness

Throughout my walk in Christ, there have been times when I myself have fallen weak to the cares of the flesh. Now these cares of the flesh have brought temporary happiness but that happiness is soon devoured by the loneliness that cannot be avoided. In truth I would like to compare the effects of Loneliness to an wolf caught in a bear trap; If you study wolves you will know that wolves who are caught up in a bear trap are most likely to go to extreme measures to free themselves, and these measures lead to the wolf eating it legs. As i think about the average lonely human I came to the conclusion that we are no different then the wolf at times. What would we do or how far would we go in order to free ourselves from the burdens and pains of loneliness? Would we vitiate our standards and settle for less? Would we go out and manipulate someone into loving us by buying them all their heart desires? We can mask the feeling with temporary things but reality is truth and there is no avoid the reality that money and humanly love cannot feel the “God-Void”. Ask yourself how can long can you possibly stay stable? We go into our fictional character mode and pull out our best Denzel Washington act not knowing that every role has an ending. Yet with God there is no ending. There is also no loneliness in God. It truly is an umbrage to know that I allowed this feeling to override my emotions all these years. But greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. Through continual prayer, reading, fasting and genuine time with God the feeling of loneliness will have no choice but to dissipate. Are you battling loneliness? Are you replacing God with the cares of the World? My suggestion to you is to begin to soak in the word for it is written how should a man cleanse his ways? By taking heed to God’s word. My Fellow Brothers and Sisters seek God.
