As I sit here in my apt. I think to myself how lucky I am. I have a family that supports and loves me, friends who care for me, a group of youth that inspire me and a God that loves me. I am truly blessed. But as I sit here, I cant help but think of others in the world, all over who have no family, no friends, no inspiration and no faith in a higher power, no faith in a God that Loves and cares for them. This saddens me a great deal. This is not a note so much as it is a prayer, a prayer to the millions upon millions of people in the world who at this very moment feel alone.
We have been created with the need for others. From the very beginning of time with Adam in the garden we see that we are in need of others. This is not a flaw in God’s design but a blessing. However, for those on the opposite side, in the waiting and in the loneliness it is a curse. The need to be comforted, to feel loved, to feel cared for. So often we tend to overlook these simple things, and in doing so forget that others may be lacking in what we take for granted. In a world where people go hungry and thirsty while others throw away excess the very least that we can do is recognize these people, to see them where they are, to go to them where they are and to be with them.
I pray for those with out hope, with out inspiration, with out love. May they see that although they feel alone, hopeless and defeated, that there is a God who loves them, so much so that that same God would send the people out into the world to be that love. May we spend our lives showing that love, and not get lost in our own greed and discomfort. May we not be afraid to give of ourselves freely as Christ gave of himself freely to us, holding NOTHING back but giving all that we have, because in the end if I have everything that this world has to offer but have not loved, then I have not done what I was sent here to do. God is Love, and so can you be.
From the people who find themselves alone on a park bench to the ones who live in a house surrounded by everything you could ask for, may everyone who finds themselves lonely at this moment in time no matter what the circumstances find peace in this there moment of loneliness. – Amen
