I saw her for the first time about three weeks ago. I was on my morning run and saw the light coming from the dark morning. I really didn't think much of it and just kept on running.
The next morning I saw her again. I noticed the old feeble woman gazing out the window as I ran by. The light shined bright as I kept running.
On the third morning, I saw her once again. This time, I was walking instead of running. I was tired and didn't have the energy to run. This morning, I noticed the look on her face. I noticed the loneliness that she displayed. I noticed the wrinkles and battle scars that completely covered her face. I noticed the chair she was sitting in and the empty room she was sitting in. Her face showed the ages. It showed a life that probably was very difficult. But the pain on her face made me realize that so many like her are totally alone in this world.
Loneliness can be devastating. It can be the worst feeling that anyone can imagine.
If you feel like you're alone, think again, God has something to say about this, as well. One scripture that should encourage us, in particular, is in Hebrews 13:5, which says, "For God has said, "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you."
If you trust wholeheartedly in this, you'll have a sense of self worth knowing that the Creator of all things, and the Most High, is on your side imparting a love that nobody else knows how to demonstrate.
Lonely? think again. We have a God that cares for you more than anything else.
