*sigh*....ever been at that point when it's a Saturday, you have been working all week and you want to go out with a friend or two and just chill or go to the movies, but no one seems to be available for whatever reason?
Yeah...that's where I'm at. I need to socialize...work is pretty consuming, so much that I don't have time to socialize after I get off the clock because I have to get up so early!
All I want to do right now is scream. And go to town with a friend...
It's a pretty depressing feeling, this loneliness...
Aaand then I find a few verses in scripture. God is amazing at doing that. Sometimes when i feel like this, I will open my bible to a random spot and just put my finger somewhere. It always ends up being something I need to hear or read. Not exactly what I WANT to hear, but it's what I need.
Today I found this: Joel, Chapter 2, Verse 25-27:
25: So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locusts have eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.
26: You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame.
27: then you shall know that I am the Lord your God and there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame.
Aaaaahhh! In other words, what I have lost, shall be restored/returned, for I have given myself to the Lord Jesus Christ and I believe in Him. That's....almost too much to handle. It's truly amazing how the Lord guides the hand...
These verses apply to more than just this situation! Besides being lonely, I am feeling a little lost. A little discouraged, and this is what I NEEDED to hear. And you know what? It's kinda what I WANTED to hear too!
Ok, I'm going to go play some music or something...
Have a blessed evening all!!

Wonderful... I think sometimes we feel lonely... but we are never alone for God is always with us. Funny how God always provides us with what we NEED... I often will start feeling sorry for myself for whatever reason, and God always seems to show me that other people have worst problems than I. He shows me that my problem isn't the only thing that matters. How great is our God!
ReplyDeletep.s. I hope you find sometime to hang out with your friends. :)
God bless.
Exactly! That is so true.
ReplyDeleteIt's just amazing!
He either gently shows you or throws it in your face. I guess it depends on His patience level with us. :D Or what we need at the time.
Thank you I did! :)
