When We are Lonely
Despite the fact that technology
enables us to stay connected,
we haven't solved the loneliness
problem. Many people still feel
cut off from those around them.
The real solution for healing
the deep ache of isolation
is an intimate relationship with God.
As He was about to create
Adam, God said in Genesis 1,
"Let Us make man in Our
image, according to Our likeness".
One point of resemblance
to the Lord is our desire
and ability to share intimacy
with others.
We're created to commune
with God.
Adam and Eve had a close bond
with the Lord, who spent time
with them in the Garden of Eden.
But, the couple's disobedience
caused a rift in the relationship
. Since God is holy, He can't
allow anything unrighteous
into His presence. Once sin
entered the world through
the first couple, every person
born would be tainted
with it and separated from God.
Yet because of His love, the
Lord planned a way to bridge
the gap between Himself and
mankind. Jesus Christ took
our transgressions upon
Himself and died on the cross,
wiping away the stain of sin.
Whoever trusts in His sacrifice
for the forgiveness of sins goes
over the "bridge" formed by
the cross. Each new believer
is immediately restored to a
right relationship with God.
God Bless you,
My prayers are with
& all your loved ones.
