Lonliness

Lonely...a very desolate place. 

Even if you don't allow 'lonely' to make you do stupid things, it can still cause you to have stupid thoughts.  And, loneliness has been my companion tonight...

It’s not that I long for what’s been, but I yearn for what I've never had.

And my despair took me to the place that I always go in times like these, to the arms of God.  As I pleaded with Him to take my loneliness away, it occurred to me that...He won’t; it’s not His will.  Just like He didn't take my grief away, because He wanted me to grow through it; this cross, I must also bear.  Although, at this point I cannot see clearly because of this fog of loneliness that has encompassed me, I know that as it lifts, I will see God’s purpose for allowing me to walk through this desolate valley. 

So for now, I’ll just trust God, and be content with where I am.

Jonah 2:2 " In my distress I called unto the Lord, and He answered me.  From the depths of the grave I called for help, and He listened to my cry."
