“Thou God seest me…” (Genesis 16:13)
Loneliness can be experienced where there is the absence of quality connections with others. Relationships have to be nurtured, time has to be invested, and sacrifices will have to be made in order to build and maintain healthy connections. All of us experience a sense of belonging and connecting with others and that desire comes from God. It is a desire that drives us to Him. It provides us great satisfaction to know that we are seen, heard, by our God who is always with us, ever present. We should challenge our loneliness by reminding ourselves that God is near. Charles Spurgeon wrote, “He is here, close by my side, and not by me only, but in me; within this heart; where these lungs beat; or where my blood gushes through my veins; or where this pulse is beating, like a muffled drum…God is there.” It will take us nurturing our relationship with Him to always have this awareness. It will take a devotion to prayer and spending time with Him. Remember, healthy relationships are nurtured relationships. GiGi❤️
