 Alone.  I am so very alone. |
The crowd swirls around you. Talking, laughing... touching one another. You hear them in the far distance, yet they are right next to you. Someone looks at you, but doesn't see you. Someone talks to you, but doesn't know you're there. You speak, but why? You can't hear your own voice. You are profoundly alone. Only those who have been there can possibly understand what you are going through. Those on the outside will tell you, "You're not alone! I'm right here with you." They don't know. They can't feel what you are feeling. You are feeling nothing, and yet you feel such pain. Why is the pain so intense? Why does it hurt so deeply? Because you were never meant to live this way. Complete isolation from other human beings puts you in a place where you begin to lose track of your existence. You begin to wonder if you are alive. This reveals just how much we need one another. How did it happen? You weren't always alone. What unfortunate series of circumstances led you to this place of pain? In the final analysis, it doesn't really matter. You're here. Nothing that happened yesterday can be changed. But today... today can be changed. And that change will open up a brand new tomorrow for you. You don't have to be alone. You can feel once again. You can be part of the world around you. You can love and be loved. You can once again be important to someone. How? By first coming to the realization that you are not really alone. No, we are not going to play games with you and tell you that there are lots of people in your life that care for you, as it may not be true. But while we don't know your name or where you are in this world, we can say with assurance that you are not alone. You just can't see the One who is with you as you read these words. But He is more real than anything you can reach out and touch. Impossible? Or at least, improbable? Many think so. But many millions of others have proved otherwise. They have entered the realm where the unseen is seen. They have found a Friend like no friend they have ever known in this life. A Friend who is always there, day and night. One who never grows tired of them. One who they can always trust to be the truest of friends. One who they can communicate with at any time and know their voice is heard. One who will speak to their heart, and touch them in a way they've never been touched before. One who alone is able to meet every need today, and every need in all their tomorrows. And yes, one who can help the very alone to feel again. To once again know the warmth of companionship with others that they were created to know and enjoy. Yes, this true Friend is all sufficient. Believe it. Reach out right now. You can find Him. He's willing... Are you? |
