Loneliness...

[savedNblessed]

I've been single as far as my memory goes (not sure if I had a ”thing” for the guy in the incubator next to my mine). But jokes apart, I have been single and that didn't stop me from having crushes and developing likes for the opportunity gender aka B. O. Y. I've always longed to be with someone. To be honest I have always sought that attention. Part of that could be because of the fact that I'm the eldest of the my siblings and my Parents kind of thought that I could take care of my own self. Anyways, as I got older my relationship with Christ not being so strong I sought that attention more and more. My need was spiritual but I was trying to meet it in a worldly manner. There has been times, when I've been pathetically jealous of my friends and my own little sister who is engaged. I've asked the question why?! Many times to God. I have wondered that few of my friends being Hindu and worshiping idols still have better lives than me. They are getting married, having children, moving on to next stage of life. And me, I've been stuck in this stage of being single forever. My parents have been trying to arrange my marriage since past two years and they've been unsuccessful so far. No matter what I do I'm still single. This bugged me a lot.
Recently I've had a breakthrough though. Holy Spirit revealed to me that I'm alone but not lonely. Yes, there is a difference between two. Alone is physical state and lonely is mental. How can I be lonely when the Comforter that Jesus had promised aka Holy Spirit that is with me all the time? Why should I compare myself to others, when God has made me fearfully and wonderfully? Why should I worry about being single because God above has already planned my life? He knows my inmost being, He has knit me in my mother's womb. Why should I worry?
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope this post has encouraged you. May JESUS bless you richly <3

This is a great topic, and I don't know why there are'nt more people responding. Maybe because lonliness is not really something everyone experiences in the first place to even comment on it. I know it has been for me. .. All of my life, for as long as I can remeber. I've been both alone and lonely. Off and on. In and out. Back and fourth. Sometimes it got me down, sometimes it made me happy ( I know weird right). I've even contemplated that maybe it was god's will at times. I often wondered if he was trying to keep my single just so i wouldn't be too distracted to realize something. I don't know for sure. At times I even learned to embrace the aloness to enjoy the peace of silence. But then again peace of silence is no good without a proper voice of guidance.
As a teenager I had a favorite comic character who seemed to have the same issue of loneliness, and stdied how he dealt with it. He was a being that was created to sore through space to find nourishment for an entity that needed a certian type of food to survive. While he sore through space he would almost always be alone, and used some of this time to think. At first he did as he was told and got the food for his master, but then later realized of the consequences involved in attaining the food, and how it cost the lives of trillions of other species to get the food. He soon gained too much of a concern for the lives he was destroying to sustain the appetite of his master and would spend entire episodes of these books in thought while he was flying through space. The thoughts that went though his mind were some of the most profound and compasionate that I had ever seen or heard and he soon became my favorite character of all, simply because he had the power to point his finger at a planet and destroy it, but instead he spent most of his time trying to figure out the mysteries that lied before him.
This character changed my life as a teenager, and shaped and molded my character.

Do not settle for second best. God has wonderful plans for your life and when jesus Christ is your first love, everything will fall into place and sooner than you think. Do not try to help Him out, He can do a wonderful job in this area without your help. God bless and keep on smiling.

Read Acts Chapter 27 The shipwreck section. it's helps trust me. I am someone that has complete empathy for anyone struggling with relationships. I am finalizing my Divorce in a few days . Not my desire, and it is my darkest hour. I have shared that testimony in these blogs somewhere smile. But I was the man who was after God, while she was after worldly morality. Her picture looks good but it is fruitless. And God says it won't be enough. sorry! I wrote in another room on your behalf as well but I will keep you in prayer in reference to this latest request as well
