Psalm 84:2 (NIV)
2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of
the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God
Loneliness is one of the greatest problems people face
today. It is a leading cause of suicide-that is now the third greatest killer
of students in the United States. People feel various kinds of loneliness. One
of the most common is the loneliness of solitude. Or there is the loneliness of
suffering. Many people experience loneliness in society, or there is the
loneliness of sorrow, guilt, and judgment.
All of us feel at times a loneliness for God. Someone has
called it cosmic loneliness. We don’t know what it is. It makes us restless.
You see, man was made for God; and without God, he is lonely. But Jesus is
knocking at the door of our heart, saying, “I want to come in. Let me in.” He
doesn’t push His way through that door. We have to open it and invite Him
in; when we do, He comes in to live forever and we are never lonely again.
Thought for today:
Is God in every aspect of your life?
