Prodigal: I’m all alone right now.
Me: You know God is around.
Prodigal: Yes, I have to remember that.
This comes from the book Facing Loneliness: The Starting Point of a New Journey by J. Oswald Sanders
Far from being an unwelcome liability, solitude confers many fringe benefits. It is in the place of quietness that creativity flourishes, not in the hubbub of modern life. We are so constituted that while we crave intimacy with other human beings, there are times when solitude becomes imperative, especially the silence of aloneness with God, when other voices have died away. It is then we have the unique gentle stillness.” The enrichment that follows cannot be exaggerated for the communion with the eternal God is the most potent medium of inner fulfillment.
My God and My Savior how I need your peace and fulfillment today. The time with you can give me energy and strength that is needed for this week. I love you Lord and need to be reminded of how great you are.
Mark 13:31
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
