You know the feeling that you have when there’s no one around, and you start to question if anyone loves you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know, that heavy weight of insecurity of not knowing if anyone really even cares that you exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes it happens when you’re all by yourself, and sometimes it even happens when you\u2019re surrounded by a bunch of people you know and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don’t really know why you feel this way, but you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You just feel…alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loneliness is sadness or fear that you feel when you’ve been forgotten or abandoned, or at least you feel like you’ve been forgotten or abandoned by a family member, a friend or even God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re lonely, you may feel sad, empty or like you have no value or importance in life. You may be experiencing some of the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone has felt alone at some time or another, even if for just a second. Everyone has insecure thoughts about themselves and questions whether they’re cared about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You feel this way because you\u2019re meant to be with God, but Satan loves to pull you away from Him. Satan knows your weaknesses, and thrives on reminding you of them. But, you\u2019re made for a greater world than this, you\u2019re made for a world where God rules. This leaves you feeling out of place and let down while searching for your true value and worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one likes to feel forgotten or abandoned. You want to be noticed and loved. You want someone who will be there for you–to laugh with, to cry with and to share your time with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the first thing you should know is that it’s OK to feel alone. It’s perfectly normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you should also know that loneliness is JUST a feeling–one that can hurt you to your very core–but a feeling just the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’re not alone… None of us are. And it’s great to know that you have a God who cares so deeply for you that He cares when you hurt, and He\u2019ll never leave your side. Peter, one of Jesus disciples, tells you in Hebrews 13:5 that your God will never leave you nor abandon you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, often times you feel distant from God, or that He\u2019s allowing things to happen to you that make you feel forgotten. Your feeling of abandonment or separation from God is based on your conditional heart, not His unconditional love. Regardless of your conditions, you need to realize that He is there, even if you aren\u2019t allowing yourself to feel Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you feel distant from God, your desire for Him grows stronger. Just like you want to hang out with friends who want you around, God yearns for you to want a relationship with Him<\/a>. Even though God is always there, He hopes that you WANT Him in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you decide to make Jesus the Lord of your life He becomes a part of you. The Holy Spirit lives in you. And when The Holy Spirit lives in you nothing can separate you from God’s love.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd how do you know that He’ll never leave you? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So what does this mean for you when you FEEL alone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
