"God sets the lonely in families."
I must embrace this "lonely" feeling. Have you been away from family for a long time, away from "home," or away from God? I move quite a bit so, I have been away from family and home for nearly 10 years. The winter months tend to be a time of S.A.D. for many and I have not been able to avoid S.A.D. this year.
It's March, I have the lonely feeling setting in as the winter days & snow has had me indoors much more. Looking to friends to help me cheer up, a lunch date or shopping sounds like fun. Looking for more Pinterest projects and more rooms to redecorate has to help keep the lonely from overwhelming me. Not really! Not truly.
God's word says he "sets the lonely in families." No I can't escape it. No I can't fill every minute with enough stuff, people, or craft projects to avoid "lonely."
This week I learned through the story of Elijah:
- Great Men and Women of God Endure Loneliness
- Great Men and Women of God Develop Dependence on God.
- Great Men and Women of God Go Where God Leads.
As long as I turn to God he will fill me and you.
God has great purposes in store for you!
I love my church because this week they encouraged me with the words of God. They met me in my state of "loneliness" and as I was discouraged. The church was God's hands and feet to me. God is here, He wants to develop you into the man or woman He has called you to be.
