Lonely no more
🕑 Added 2023-04-17 11:00:01 +0000 UTCGood morning!
Loneliness is something I’ve thought about recently. I’ve heard that come up in different ways. Most of us have heard that with all the connections we make now with the internet, we are actually less connected and more lonely. Interesting. It made me think. How does one get rid of loneliness….whether it is a fleeting or prolonged feeling?
Some would say that you have to find the “right” person to stop feeling lonely. However, many people still feel lonely when they are married. And many single people don’t feel lonely.
So, then, what is it? I think it is a mindset. And it is based primarily on either an abundance or a scarcity mindset. A scarcity mindset says that I don’t have enough and if I did, I would be ok. It says what I need is more. It feels somewhat hopeless that there will ever be enough.
An abundance mindset starts with knowing that I have so much to be thankful for. I have been given a tremendous amount of gifts-whether it’s as simple as food whenever I want or as vast as the people who come into my life to interact with me daily. It says I have enough and there is all that I need as I need it.
I believe that God is the reason this works. He is the Creator and Giver of life. He gives only good gifts….and sometimes we are given the gift of challenges to build us up stronger.
The antidote for loneliness is found in the Presence of God and who we are as His kids. He knows how to fill anything that is empty. He knows what we need and when we need it. He is abundant in His blessings and never withholds any good thing. Because of this, we can trust that we have all we need and that there will be more than enough as we need it!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17

I have been both places, but being in alignment and agreement with God's grace-filled presence is the best place you can be. Thanks Sis for this life giving word!
