Loneliness

Well, I don’t really have anything profound to say…  But is a blog supposed to be something long, wordy, and always profound? I think a blog should just be a short blip of what is on the mind of a person. So here goes…. The mind of Cone the last few days.

Loneliness.

This issue hits home with EVERY human on the planet. Not ‘a one of us can escape it until the day we see Jesus face to face or when He returns. We can be amongst friends we’ve known the names of for decades yet still not really know them. Even in marriage, a couple cant truly know each other to the core. The reality is, only One person can get to the deepest place on the inside.

Ok so now what? What do we do in response to this feeling/thing? THAT is what counts! And if there’s anything I have learned recently it’s that NOTHING can satisfy that ache for the restoration of the days of Eden and communion with the Creator. Oh yes, things can help numb the pain a bit… Especially here in the west where everything is literally at our fingertips.  We can numb the symptoms pretty easily, but when that wears off, there’s something deeper that needs to be addressed. But do we just keep numbing the pain with temporal things?

I want to propose….. (well, someday to a girl…  yes…. but that’s for another post sometime down the road and It will not be fore tense but past tense) I want to propose that we take a look at our hearts RIGHT NOW and search them. Are our souls drinking from fountains of death or life?  Do we run to ___________ to fill this void and ease the pain? Or do we TRULY take everything to Christ and drink from eternal life found at the Cross? Do the words of Psalm 84:2 and Psalm 63 match our lives or are they just words on our tongue? Do we truly believe the Word of God in that, Psalm 16:11 tells us where this thirst is quenched?

Just thoughts…
