Lonely days and lonely nights

This morning I was trying to compose a song. The lyrics that keep going through my mind pertain to lonely days and lonely nights. Im not lonely now, but I have been very lonely in times past. It is not a good feeling. I was not a Christian at the time that I was lonely and my life was miserable.

What a difference the Lord can make in our lives if we simply allow Him into our heart. If new friends are what you want simply start visiting churches until you find the one that is right for you and your family. There are tons of churches out there just waiting to welcome new members. Sunday schools, or the popular contemporary small groups that are popping up in churches and neighborhoods everywhere nowadays are perfect vehicles for meeting new friends who share a common love for our Creator and have lifestyles that are similar to ours.

I have found that it is difficult meeting people at church without attending Sunday school or small groups unless it is a very small church. I made the mistake of avoiding Sunday school for years. Strong lasting friendships are yours for the asking if you will simply find the right Sunday school class or group.

I have more friends and acquaintances now than at any point of my life, but Im not lonely even when I am not around friends or other people. I always feel the Lord’s presence in my life and I converse with Him via prayer many times throughout the day.

A close personal relationship with the Lord will fill every void in your life. He wants us to have fulfilling lives and He watches over our every move. Einstein believed in God but he did not believe in a personal God that was approachable by mankind. I dont know where he dreamed that up. The Bible states that we were created for the express purpose of having personal fellowship with God!

I think that maybe God Himself was lonely and that is one reason that we were created in the first place. We were created in His image and He instilled in our very soul a yearning to know Him. His tremendous love for us and desire for fellowship is truly our salvation.

As proof, consider how Jesus suffered so mightily just so we might be reunited with the Lord and thereby resume a close personal fellowship with Him. Accept His Son Jesus Christ as your Savior, serve Him proudly, and fulfill your purpose for being created.

If you suffer from lonely days and lonely nights, just find the Lord and everything will be all right. (I think Ill use that riff in my new song.)


Romans 8:38

For I am persuaded that neither

death nor life, nor angels nor

principalities nor powers, nor things

present nor things to come,

nor height nor depth, nor any

other created thing, shall be able to

separate us from the love of God

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
