Surrounded Yet Alone
It’s hard feeling alone. I have never understood the feeling of being so alone when you’re surrounded by people… even your own friends. Yet I’m all too familiar with that feeling.
I was talking with a good friend of mine tonight. He’s been feeling a lot of what I’ve been feeling lately - loneliness. I was thinking about it and wondering why we get that feeling. Why do we? I know for me, I’ve been trying so hard to fill that void in me with relationships and friendships… I have yet to understand what it means to be complete and whole in my relationship with Christ, and I feel that only now am I truly beginning to come to a better understanding of what that means.
I talked with my Mom for a while tonight, and she was encouraging me to pursue after Him wholeheartedly while also investing in the brothers I have on my hall. More and more, I’m realizing the value in that. I’m also learning to give my desire for a relationship over to God… I trust that God will bring me the girl He wants me to marry when He is ready for me to pursue that. I know that now is not that time…
