Don't Let Me Be Lonely

Actually, please let me be lonely.

It's not like I'm not lonely enough already.

Lately, I really have felt more and more lonely.

Why, though?

I have a family and a God that loves me. I have an entire Bible Study that loves me.

So why do I feel lonely?

There are literally HUNDREDS of Bible Verses about this very subject.

 I feel like I'm right with God but I have heard if you're lonely, you aren't right with God.

As mentioned in the last post, I do struggle with things that perhaps wouldn't make me right with Him. Could that be it? I don't know.

I'm not the best Christian and I can't say I'm the worst.

The reason that I'm so lonely because so many of my friends are getting engaged or are in committed relationships. Meanwhile, I'm 21 in 4 months and haven't really been on a date and definitely haven't been kissed.

But you know what brings me hope? One day I will go on a date and be kissed and hell, I bet sparks will fly.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

That gives me hope. Who the heck knows if I will ever find a girlfriend? Who knows if I will ever get married? God does.

People tell me "There's someone for everyone." I actually don't believe that. God doesn't plan for everyone to find love. Don't let that get you down. I mean look at Taylor Swift, shes 26 in December and hasn't found  husband and is happy as anyone. 

You can be happy and not in love. I've discovered that in the last 6 months as well as putting my trust in God. Try putting your trust in God. I promise when you do, you won't be able to stop.

I will leave you with this. Actually brought to me courtesy of Stephen Christian, former lead vocalist of Anberlin. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6

Until next time,
