I'm lonely..... Have you heard anyone say that? Most the time we hear...I'm hungry, I'm late, I'm tired, I'm fat, I'm cold! But rarely do you hear anyone say I'm lonely. Why is that? I have met quite a few people lately and their soul hurts. They are lonely. They are crying silently because most the time the world is flying by them without caring. There are even sitcoms that poke fun at people's expense. People are making permanent decisions for a heartbreaking problem, ending it all. Songs drip with tears of loneliness. Movies have hearts crying out for companionship.
Have you ever watched a little girl pretending to be a ballerina? She twirls and whirls, smiles expanding her whole face, laughter squealing out in delight. Have you ever watched a little boy pretending to be a race car driver? He buzzes, zooms, zips, smiles expanding his whole face, laughter bellowing out in excitement. Then we grow up. We allow pressures of life to crush our hopes, dreams, and desires. We forget who we are and were created to be. Did you know that not once does the Word of God describe you as an Adult of God...interesting. We are His children, sons and daughters, mature believers, BUT never once adults! Why is that?!
I believe that Daddy wants us to remember what it was like to be young and free, to have a saving grace, a hiding place. To be able to fly, to dream, to laugh, to enjoy life.... In saying that, I am His daughter and believe I am supposed to reach out to others. I am supposed to be there for them. The other day, I was having a horrible day. I just needed to share life and have someone just listen...no advice, fix all, or condolences. Just a shoulder and an ear. Approximately two or three people literally turned a deaf ear because life was whirling by them so fast. I sighed. Then I heard a soft voice say, I'm here, I understand, I will listen..... My heart broke and tears flowed. How many times have I ignored life crying out right in front of me? I repent! Oh my God please don't let me let others dying, crying, crushing by life, walk by me without me offering a kind word, a shoulder to lean on, a gentle touch, or love on them whether it is so brief. We were created to touch and be touched. Don't let me be lonely.......
