Never alone

Loneliness is a common feeling for a lot of folks, but the truth is, we are never alone.

When we feel lonely, there is a tendency to think we are here by ourselves, when in fact we were made to be part of God's world.

God made us for His pleasure. He made us to be his companions. There is a real sense in which we were designed so that God would never be lonely. We just need to reach out by faith and touch the One who made us for himself.

If you are lonely, remember that God made you. He loves you. You are his excellent and crowning creation. You are not a mistake, you are not a failure, and you were made to be a child of God. Reach out and touch the One who made you and be thankful that you are never really alone!
