Do you know Loneliness?

[Judy Harder]

Just a sec, I have known loneliness from childhood on. Only the last 20 years have I been content and understand my aloneness.
It is not fun, or comfortable to be in a room full of people, I do not care that most are friends or friendly, I still am alone. Always have been. No, I don't have the answers, but I am going to look into this book/lesson and see if my search for Jesus and knowing  God is the reason. If it weren't for my animals and computer, you could call me a hermit. Safer to stay home, quiet, safe!
Just telling it like I am. jh



How much do you know about loneliness? Do you know ...

      • How someone can feel lonely in a crowd?
      • Why someone would be lonely in marriage?
      • The way Christians can respond to loneliness?
      • What emotion crushes loneliness?

From the truth of God's Word, you and I can find answers to those questions, and many more.

This is critical information today -- because no one, married or single, religious or non-religious, young or old, is exempt from the pain of loneliness.

Doctors tell us that loneliness is a clinical condition, a disease, if you will. But you and I know the Great Physician, and His treatments for loneliness are certain and sure.

The hope for lonely people isn't in empty platitudes, but in the proven, practical, powerful reality of Scripture.

As Christians, we are in the family of God. We have, as Morris West has written, "the reassurance that God wants to meet us in our loneliness, and we will find that, with His help, we can overcome it."

I've prepared some great, biblical resources to help you, or a loved one, discover God's cure for loneliness. Click here to visit our website and find out more.

Loneliness may be the "disease of our time," but God's Word has the cure.

God bless you,

Amen I have been alone since 2005.  If it weren't for my critters and computer i would be a hermit too.  Its not hard to be invisible in a room full of people.

I have often said that I would be happiest in the middle of an Elk County pasture surrounded by a herd of cattle and other of God's creatures.  That is a peacefulness that is second only to Heaven.  No, I wouldn't be lonely out there.  I wouldn't be alone.

Very true wilma,
Since I found God again, oh He was here, I just did things my way and didn't amount to a "hill of beans" At least to my self.

Still find it more at ease when I am with nature and God's creatures. They let me be me without looking or acting like I don't know nothing.........well, most of the time I do not. Don't pretend to be.
And when I reach out and try to get involved, still get a lot of aloneness.
I sigh a lot and then back out and go back to where I was.
I am not unhappy nor miserable.......just a fact of my being, I guess.
Get stomped on a lot and you (I) get leary of the same.

When I returned home from the Army, my first wife decided to divorce me and I moved into an apartment I could barely afford.  Fifty percent of my take home pay was going to her as a result of the divorce.  I was really devastated by the divorce, emotionally and financially. I didn't want to place trust in anyone for fear that I would be hurt again.  It was a four year stretch before I met my second and current wife.  I had no money to go anywhere, do anything, but just work and then sit in my apartment.  No TV.  I did have a stereo to listen to, compliments of a friend who had gone into the Army about then.  Except for occasional visits from my brother, I had nobody.  No close friends to speak of.  I found, in the beginning, that loneliness was a horrible thing.  I felt that God was really testing me to see what kind of a person I could really be.  I began attending church again, but I was not close to anyone there, either. He taught me how to make better use of my time and how to realize that I could handle the loneliness with no problem. I began taking classes through the mail, paid for by the G.I. Bill. I made a big effort after a while to try and establish relationships with people from my past.  I found a better paying job and my ex remarried, so no more payments to her.  I remarried and have a great family.  I have been happy since then with my family.  But, I often think those four years were the best and happiest, yet the toughest time of my life.  I passed the test.
