What a blessed Easter I had today. I was surrounded by family and friends and felt really loved. I think my sense of love came from my week of meditating on the sacrifice that Jesus made for me. This sense of love made me think about how most people have at one point or another in their lives have felt lonely. Loneliness is a feeling that I struggled with for a long time until the Lord helped me.
He gave me the peace of being all right with just him.....and once I reached that point he brought my husband into my life. Have you ever struggled with loneliness? I have such a wonderful friend in Jesus...he died and rose so that we would never have to be separated from God.. I want you to have a friend in Jesus. No one ever has to feel alone. If you are lonely I want you to have the peace that surpasses all understanding...ask for it and he will give it to you!
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Happy Easter Sweets!
This was so very touching, thank you! I have struggled with loneliness and thinking I am incomplete without a guy. By the grace of God I have come to understand that I'm as whole as I'll ever be, and only Jesus fills holes! This post reminds of something I saw posted on someone's profile. While I do not agree that this is a translation of the verse it cites, I like the point. Here it is:
ReplyDelete"I made her in such a way that she would need Me. I made her a little more lonesome than she would like to be…Only because I need her to learn to depend on Me. I know her heart. I know if I had not made her like this, she would go her own chosen way and forget about Me, her Creator." (Psalm 62:5-8)
HAPPY EASTER!
Josie I love that! Amen...only Jesus can make us whole:) Thanks for sharing that verse.
