I have designed this article for those who are weary with activities, tired of life and uncertain about the future unfolding. Probably, you are under heavy stress as your hope has ended in disappointments. You were clueless as to how to respond or react. We all go through these lonely phases at some point of time. People around, encourage us by saying it happens and this will also pass with time. Not really! The solution to the problem is not found in space or time. Our dejection and loneliness are the result of the void in our souls and we mistake it with commodities and experiences.
On the other hand there are the rich who can afford all they can in life and experience no dejections or disappointments. But one thing both these categories of people face is loneliness. To combat loneliness, both end up giving in to their temptations and flirt with mistakes for temporary relief and self-pleasure. They find intermediary solutions and most of the time people tend to manage it with wrong sinful experiences. Yet with many substitutes available, none have the capacity to provide us with meaningful solutions, like online gambling, surfing explicit content (pornography) looks like effective mental relaxers from worry and to ease the disappointment and loneliness. However, the effects and outcomes of the same can leave a person to live in continuous regret. It results in people living in isolation, guilt and pain most of the time.
While in loneliness, Indulging in self-pleasure is another means of distraction which looks satisfying, but never really giving the solution to real-time problems. Never forget such habits have the same potent effect as drug addiction. Some of the traits can be loss of gaining pleasure from common things in life, compulsive behaviour, loss of motivation, loss of energy, depression, etc. It’s a serious problem.
There is a repercussion of indulging in all sorts of behaviour which the Bible calls it sin and it states, “for the wages of sin is death, but the Gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”. We all eventually die, but this death is different. As someone said, Some die in 20’s but are buried at 60’s and 70’s. They live like zombies devoid of conscience and real feelings. Loneliness is one of the main impact Their behaviour and action have an impact on their families and on their children causing pain that refuse to go away.
Let us not forget we are promised to be supernaturally aided, provided we build a right relationship with our Creator. Jesus who has Himself conquered death through His resurrection is the greatest solution provider. And we don't necessarily find the aid from the Saviour through our religious rites and rituals.
We can just can reach Him by faith because He has promised by saying this, “Come to me all of you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.”. Whether you are guilty with sin or aching with pain you have a hope and an answer. He is more than enough to eliminate your loneliness when you invite Him into your heart. You have a choice to follow Jesus the Savior, the person - not a religion or religious institution. Tell Him what you are going through in a prayer. You will find an answer.
