Previous Daily Devotional I know someone who is having a crisis. With his encouragement, I am using his crisis to help others. When there is no one to talk to (Part 5 of 5) Psalm 88:8 You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them. I am confined and cannot escape; 9 my eyes are dim with grief. (NIV) In dealing with loneliness, we must all learn to be honest. We must all tell God we are alone and that we need Him. We need Him for many reasons but the biggest reason is that we are alone in this life. What searing pain loneliness brings! What a tragedy of the soul loneliness brings! In loneliness, some of us are talkers and some of us are listeners. The listeners often never speak when speaking is so needed when they need to talk. The talkers never listen because they are busy talking, but in doing the talking they often speak very little about what it is that is really and truly inside of them that needs to be said. Talkers and listeners both miss each other. Talkers and listeners can both bump into each other daily and keep on going but remain as distant as if they had never bumped into each other at all. In either case, whether you are a talker or a listener, the presence of God in Christ can be as real for you as if you were sitting next to Him this minute, for you are. |
