Day 249 Lonlieness - The Heart of Worship

Sept. 13, 2015
Day 249

There is a lonlieness that goes to the core. We are alone and those whom we thought were friends, in reality, do not walk with us. There are times when we feel incapable of doing anything about this empty feeling  and then there are times when we fight it like the plague. We try to shake it like some unwanted pest. But, if that does not work, we sometimes go to drastic measures. But do we ever stop to deeply feel the feeling? Do we ever stop to ponder the need for this feeling as a way to help us understand Him?

Lonlieness confirms our walk. Jesus felt this, all the time. He walked this. He knew this, and intimately. Have we taken the time to see lonlieness as a place of holy ground, to be embraced as a gateway, an arbor, a door, a window into His world. Lonlieness is a friend leading us by the hand to Jesus' heart.                  

Lonlieness is a place where worship flows. It is a place where understanding meets with the heart of Jesus. Instead of trying to shrug it off like it is a pest on a hot summer day, it might be better seen as a place of holiness whispering your name to come and do what good friends do; spend significant chunks of time

together.
