NEVER ALONE

 

 



Dear children of God, loneliness is to feel isolated, estranged and despondent because we lack close companionship. children distroted by the parent are made isolated and estranged. some time it is made upside down parents are distroted by their children. mainly young people were failed in love matters, they feel isolated and despondent. sometime this kind of loneliness leads to commit suicide or end their life. some elderly people were put into the estate of terminally ill. The fear of insecurity brings loneliness and depression. The most severe punishment is given to the extremists and cruel prisoners by putting them in solitary confinement. This kind of loneliness is cruel than death. Dear friends I would like to bring some encouraging biblical principals that may help us to come out and over come our feelings of loneliness.


 

NEED OF LOVE:- Children of employed parents are desprately feel loneliness. They are need of love and companionship. Lack of love and admonishing affection, children are pushed into hardship of loneliness. so they start to learn all kind of evil habits, and this leads them to cruel endings. the prodigal son left his home and father with his properties and money. when he spent all his belongings, he was left alone by his friends. He was desprately need of food, comfort and fatherly love. when he felt the loneliness with the pigs. He had a turning point of looking back the father's house and his love. He decided to treat his loneliness by rising from that situation to his fatherly love. Fatherly love never hesitate to accept him as his own son. In loneliness he lost all his happiness and joy and he became a servant, but fatherly love and compassion forgave him and accept him as his own son. Jesus calls everyone to come to him for lasting peace. come unto me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Jesus wants us to turn our minds to what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy. The prodigal son found the fellowship, companionship, galdness and celebration of joy in the father's house. God promised us that he will be with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. you will never be alone. loneliness will lead to frustration and hoplessness. King David was left alone in the wilderness to keep his father's sheeps, but God was with him so he never felt lonliness. He was the least in his family and he left behind in the wilderness to keep his father's sheeps. Many people seek after things that can give temporary peace of mind. David wrote in his psalms that the Lord gives strength to his people, the Lord blesses his people with peace.


NEED OF COMFORT:- Most of the elderly people lack their children's love because of their elderliness and terminally illness of cancer, renal failure, heart decease, these people experience a sense of loneliness and boredom. Terminally ill parents often suffer from loneliness. Rita Paul, a post- graduate student of nursing, at Christian Medical College, Vellore, affirms the presence of loneliness in terminally ill patients. she says that when a patient approaches death, he or she becomes increasingly exposed to loneliness, isolation and abandonment. Terminall illness patients feel a sense of alienation often to profound loneliness. Loneliness is a state of inaccessible to drugs. To treat elderly people's loneliness needs love and comfort. loneliness leads the elderly people to spiritual crisis. They may consider their loneliness and sickness as a punishment of sin. A sense of guilt is commonly linked to a feeling of disappointment. under these circumstances elderly people need a great comfort in helping him or her make peace with God and in easing of guilt and punishment. One of the most important of personal care and comfort is the empowering of faith. Faith is actually a source of comfort and consolation provided that is active and alive. This implies that consolation and comfort are linked to God's presence and faithfulness. Jesus comforts us by saying that I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you. The comforter[ helper] the Holy Spirit, whom the father will send in my name, he will teach you all things; peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. The apostle John while in exile on the island of patmos off the coast of present-day Turkey, he did not feel loneliness, instead of that in the Lord's day he was in Spirit and had revelation about our Lord Jesus Christ's secondcoming. He was enjoying the presence of God and he revealed the messages to seven churches which was in Asia minor,what the Lord Jesus Christ revealed to him. these letters are that include commandation, criticism, and comfort. The Apostle John was ninety years old, when he was exile to the island patmos. He was in the elderly age exiled in patmos alone, but he did not giveup hope and faith. But he was filled with Holy Spirit and he was a comfort to the churches. Loneliness brings depression and hate, angry and fear and discomfort. He was not alone in patmos Island but Jesus and the comforter[ Holy Spirit] was with him. Jesus promise was with him. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me, and behold, i am with you always, to the end of age.

Dear friends, we are never alone in any situation or any circumstances. God is always with us, even in crisis time, ailements, terminally-illness,and even in the valley of death. Let us overcome loneliness with the psalmist verse, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, iwill fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.



NEED OF GUIDANCE:- Modren youths are very much needed for right guidance. without guidance people are perish. Samson went down to Timnah, and at Timnah he saw one of the daughters of the Philistines. Then he came up and told his father and mother, I saw one of the daughters of Philistines at Timnah. Now get her for me as wife. but his father and mother said to him, is not there a woman among the daughters of your relatives or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines? But Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes. samson fell in love with the daughter of Philistines. he did not obey the right guidance of his parents but he gave importance to his lust of eyes. the lust of eyes made him without eyes and put him in the prison. In the prison, where he felt the loneliness and desperation. but there he obeyed the guidance of Holy Spirit, he repented for his sins and prayed to God to strengthen him to avenge his enemies. God heard his voice to comfort him to strengthen him to achive his task. David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were in bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. then David and his people who were with him raised their voices and wept until they had no strength to weep. But david strengthened himself in the Lord his God. David seek the Guidance of God to overcome his desperate situation of lonliness and distress. And David enquired of the Lord to guide him to pursue after the Amalekite band. God guided him and said, pursue, you shall surely overtake and shall surely rescue. David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives. nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken. david brought them back all. let us listen to the Guidence of our parents and our God the comforter. God says like this, I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should Go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, your sorrow will turn into joy.

Dear friends, let us not give place to loneliness and isolation, but give ear to hear his promise, that my son or daughter you are never alone, I am always with you. I will never leave you or forsake until the end of the age. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortess. Dear friends, if you believe in the promise of God that you are NeverAlone' kindly overrule loneliness and your sorrow will turn into joy and you can share the joy with others. please let me Know your wordings of happiness by sending to my email ID. revsjc@gmail.com, revsjc12@hotmail.com, johnchelliah857@yahoo.com.
