You ever just feel so alone even though you're surrounded by others? Ever just feel like something is missing and no matter who or what you fill your time with it just never feels like it's enough?
I've been there and I'm learning that this loneliness is a feeling that won't easily go away even though I've found a distraction.
At times I've had to ask myself "what do I feel like I'm missing"? Why don't I feel content? What lies have I allowed to become a truth? The lie that I've recently found myself believing is that I will forever be single, without purpose and alone. But understanding the difference between the lies of the enemy and the truth in the word of God is key.
My perception of loneliness was based on the idea that in order for me to feel valued, I must be in a relationship. According to this perception without a relationship I lose all purpose but this is one of the biggest lies I've ever heard. God has a plan and purpose for each and every one of His children in every season of our lives (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28). Truth is God can and will use us whether single or in a relationship and our value is always based on Him.
The enemy wants me to worry and stress when God is calling for me to trust Him. Trust His timing. Trust His word. Trust and rest in his promises and His love. By worrying I haven't added anything to my life that has benefited me...only stress.
So today I am choosing joy. I am choosing to focus on God and trusting this journey.
Be blessed.
