As human being we all happen to be lonely at some point of time. Especially,
when our loved ones go far away from us, or in some cases when they leave the
earth permanently. The other areas can include loss of job, broken
friendship, broken marriage, altercations, comparing ourselves with
someone who is materialistically sound and feeling miserable. This is
particularly common among children and young people. Also, among the old
in some cases.
History and other field of science go with the Biblical model of
creation due to its compatibility. If you follow the story on the creation of
the first man Adam it is recorded that God found man to be lonely and therefore,
He found the need to create Eve. The woman was designed for companionship
and to be a helper to man. God established family, put all of us in setting of
a community in order keep us intact with each other. We are not created to
operate from ourselves, and live within ourselves.
Today instead of Eve, the woman, man is finding
"Steve", a man for himself and trying to replace woman. Does it
give him a long-lasting happiness? Some may agree, yes it does, but do they truly know the reality? Happiness is not in finding something new and different. Man has
continually tried to invent and find something new and glory on
it. And then, very soon the excitement extinguishes, he finds himself back
to loneliness again. "Steve" has not made a difference in his life.
Materialism and temporary pleasures don't give permanent
happiness. It does for a very very short time and then people start hunting for
something else. The law of pleasure tells that each time one goes to find the
illegitimate pleasure in wrong places he may have to go much deeper, but
it is less satisfying. And then the aftermath effect is even more devastating
because you become the victim of guilt and loneliness.
Today most of the people are suffering with some serious guilt
and feeling lonely and restless. And to get rid of the same they entangle
themselves with wrong things as part of fun activities doing things publicly
and most of the time privately.
The problem is personal and to do with person hood. Therefore,
you and I need a personal God. Well I am not pointing to a season of Christmas
or Santa Claus because that cannot save us from our loneliness too. Religion
and festivals have less lasting effect on human being. It cannot deliver us and
give us peace and internal happiness.
We need a savior and Christmas is all about relationship,
forgiveness, humaneness, love and care. Would you consider finding lasting
happiness for your soul and live a fulfilled life? The Bible records by saying,
"I came that they may have life and life in abundance." God
bless you and have a fulfilled life.
