Loneliness is uprising in this season. I just heard a session that described loneliness different than isolation. Loneliness is a position of our heart and not just about physical isolation. You can be super active on social media, busy at work or shuffling kids around town, even in the middle of a crowd and still be lonely. Loneliness cuts deeper. It says to our hearts things like: “no one hears me”, “I don’t matter”, “I’m not relatable”, “if someone actually knew what was going on inside of me”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dear sister; you are not alone, you have an almighty God who sees, a God who knows, and a God who will not forsake you. So when the world feels dark, and you feel misunderstood, He is there. It would be super easy to give you a 5-point plan on how to dig yourself out of loneliness. But the reality is, here is one point: Reach out to Him. The very thing that is missing, is the Lord of lords and King of kings. He is available to you right now, the Creator of the Universe and the lover of your soul. Even now, the Holy Spirit and Jesus are interceding on your behalf, in the moments where you may not even have the words to say. This.Is.True.Love.❤️.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died, but even more, has been raised; he also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us.” Romans 8:34 CSB⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Therefore, dear friends, since you know this in advance, be on your guard, so that you are not led away by the error of lawless people and fall from your own stable position.”
2 Peter 3:17 CSB⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27 CSB
