God created humans with a variety of characteristics – physical, spiritual, mental, emotional. All of these interact and impact each other. Perhaps we can’t understand their complexity. But God does.
One of the emotions we sometimes have is loneliness. It’s a human feeling, a natural feeling. It’s a feeling that all of us have had. Something deep within us makes us want to connect with other people.
One of the purposes of the church is to connect people, those who have the common purpose of seeking God. The Bible in Hebrews 10:25 encourages us to seek the fellowship of others: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
Of course, other people are not perfect, and that includes church people, but there is still a need to connect.
In John 16:32, Jesus speaks of being forsaken by everyone, alone: “Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.”
Remember you too are not alone: the Father is with you.
Isaiah 40:28 – 32: Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. (English Standard Version)
