Is It Really You That Is Lonley??

Does it ever feel like no matter how hard you try…you get nowhere?!?!

You get on a good role, walking the Christian path…

You read your bible. You pray and talk to God. You speak of Him and His good works to any and everyone that will listen. And the next thing you know you are lost in the world…and you do not even remember how you got there.

So, you straighten back up. Start the walk again. Get more hardcore Christian….and then BOOM….back out in the world alone.

I have felt this way a lot. And I have an overwhelming feeling that I am not alone here.

So, let me let you in on a little secret….

We all mess up!! And we are not alone!!

The Lord has made a promise to us. He said that He would never leave us or forsake us.

So, why is it that we get that lonely feeling when we screw up?

Because we have left Him. We quit giving our all to Him. We stopped speaking to Him. The desire to learn about Him left. The passion gone.

Think about it for a moment though.

How would you feel if the person you spent 24/7 with suddenly stopped speaking to you? Did not call to check on you or check in. Did not drop by. This is the person that you love and care about. The person that you vowed to spend the rest of your life with. Now that person is nowhere to be found.

Hmm…..

Maybe it is not us that are lonely…Seems to me that we have abandoned Him leaving Him the lonely one.

We would not feel this loneliness, this pain had we not left Him.

Listen…do you hear Him calling out to you? He is crying because He has lost you. He wants to be your all and all. He wants to be your everything. Why can’t you commit your life to Him?

Yes, you are going to mess up. No one ever said that the Christian walk was an easy one. There are going to be many test and many, many trials. There are going to be days when you want to throw your hands up and just forget the whole thing. The key is to not GIVE UP!!

He will not give up on you. He will keep pushing. He will never stop loving you.

Learn from your mistakes and move on. Grow as a Christian as you learn what it really means to be one.

Having a bad day? Instead of doing the normal disappearing act, get into the Word of God and see what He says about your situation. I guarantee you it will feel so much better to stand up and brush yourself off, rather then to bandage up those skinned up knees. Especially with the help of our Father.

Guys let me tell yall this message is for me too. There are days when I feel like I have never been farther away from our Father. There are days when I think there is no way He would give me a second chance or a third, fourth, TENTH!! Days when I do not want to try. When it seems like it is all getting to hard.

The thing that keeps me going is His love for me. He cares so much that sometimes He may let us fall. He loves us to much to let us fall and Him not help us back up on our feet. There are many times that when things like this happen…He is teaching us something.

Think back to those similar situations where you fell….Did you learn something? Did you get back up with a BIGGER fire then you had before?

I am going to keep this one short and to the point.

When you are feeling lonely, like no one else is there. Think about how the Lord feels. Then go running back to Him as fast as possible. He is waiting with His arms wide open. I PROMISE!!!!

Love In Christ,
