Loneliness is something I’ve been pondering for some time now. I believe we all know each other and share connection on levels we do not understand. As a result, we feel something and yet we do not acknowledge it; perhaps this is why we can feel most alone when surround by others. In short, I believe it is in our nature to feel love for one another. And thus the love we may feel for a stranger, if not expressed, could in turn feel like rejection and loneliness (the unspoken hurt). In the same way, I believe we know and feel God… more than that, I believe we miss him.
I can tell you that I myself, feel the least lonely, when I am serving others. Service can give my love expression. It connects me to others and offers great satisfaction. And in loving and serving others, I am doing that which God does, which in turn ties me back to him. In this one thing at least, I feel that I have one solid piece of the puzzle. Perhaps one of the corners; helping to establish a frame for all the other pieces.
