loneliness ってさみしいけど、 draws us closer to God なものなんですね。 そのためにあるんでしょうかね? そんな中で praise Him する行動に自然に持って行けるのは、私たちの natural tendency ではないですよね。Prasie God for His faithfulness. 成長って、いろんな事がなくてはあり得ないものなんですよね。I need to always remind myself that...Thank you for sharing.

なつきさん >loneliness ってさみしいけど、 >draws us closer to God なものなんですね。
~*~*~*~ Yes, God uses loneliness to draw us closer to God, definitely. However, it is also a reality that we have two citizenships in the kingdom of Light and in the kingdom of darkness. As long as we live on the earth, we will suffer the curse from the Fall. Yes, we are redeemed, but not yet completely. This is the part of the truth. So... Interestingly, we have both loneliness and joy simultaneously in our hearts. But when we get to heaven, no more loneliness, no more pain, no more tears. (Let's remember that non-believers have loneliness, but they don't have the joy, peace, part. That IS sad...)
>そのためにあるんでしょうかね? >そんな中で praise Him する行動に自然に持って行けるのは、私たちの natural tendency ではないですよね。Prasie God for His faithfulness. >成長って、いろんな事がなくてはあり得ないものなんですよね。I need to always remind myself that...Thank you for sharing. ----- It's not natural tendency to praise Him in misery. You are right! It's not our nature!! However, we don't go through this loneliness alone. God is with us and God sends his saints (brothers and sisters in Christ) to encourage us!!! Let's praise God together! May God bless you richly, Natsuki-san!!!

~*~*~*~ I feel the same. I am an only child, so I will really be alone!It's lonely and kinda scary, but God is REALLY with us!!! But God cannot hug us!! Isn't that sad?? Marriage will NOT free us from loneliness. Children will NOT free us from misery. They might help, but they are not the answer. God is the answer!! We learn Him as a faithful Father through loneliness that compels us come to Him. Because He renews us day by day.
>でも、その中で神様に向き合うのが大事なんですね。 ----- Yes, God wants us. God wants precioius Keiko-san so much! He wants your heart. He does not want you to look for a substitute. Not depending on anyone (sinner) but God ALONE.
May God bless you abundantly, Keiko-san!!!
