Loneliness

I cannot help but to come to find so much loneliness lately, not just in this city but in the world around us. So much of this loneliness is manifested in such disguise that its surprising sometimes. And out of loneliness, people have come to the point to be willing to do a lot just to feel like they are needed and to be significant.

This is the world out there but I also cannot help but to see that loneliness found in the church in this city. Our actions mimic so very closely to those out there that have nothing to look forward to. We cling on to the superficial to find meaning in our lives and we are so blinded by social norms.

This is not my first post about loneliness but it is such a burdening issue to me as I come to experience much of it and how tempting it is to deal with it like everyone does it and somehow knowing that Jesus is the only one that satisfy, yet the people in church are still unable to bring themselves to Him for that fulfillment.

But I do understand how difficult it it to drawn oneself to God in the midst of all there is in our face. But this revelation could very well be my fuel for me. Even as moment when I want to give up, I am drawn back by the lingering mystery about God all around me to tell me that His sovereignty is utmost in a struggling circumstance.
