I am experiencing a difficult season of feeling alone. I feel like a darkness has invaded my heart of which makes me feel quite depressed. I looked up loneliness in the wikipedia dictionary and here is the definition:Loneliness is a feeling in which people experience a strong sense of emptiness and solitude. Loneliness is often compared to feeling empty, unwanted, and unimportant.
After reading this definition I see why I feel so lonely. I don't feel very supported in my life as far as my dreams and aspirations. Every time I talk to my family I feel discouraged. I find myself jealous of families that are close and care about each other. How come I don't have that? Oh it goes on and on. All of this just makes me feel so alone and SAD! If you know me you know I am not a SAD person.
I am a real person with real struggles. This all the more brings me back to the WORD. What can I dig up in there and be encouraged with?
I look at the Bible and am reminded of Biblical characters that also struggled with loneliness and not feeling supported. It was a dark, hard time. I see the key principle being that Jesus meets us in the midst of our problems. We have his Word on it!
