numbers 11: 17 I will come down and talk to you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is upon you, and I will put the Spirit upon them also. They will bear the burden of the people along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.
when I was a kid there was a song that said "alone again.. naturally..." as if in this life everyone leaves us... and I would have to say that has been what I thought was the case in my life...
until today... today I was texting a young boy who has lost his mother and has really no one in his life.. or at least that is how he sees it... and it hits me.. we are only as alone as we choose to be... I realize I choose to be alone most of the time... if I didn't.. I would surely be with someone... I see being alone as a comfortable place.. I don't have to answer to anyone.. I don't have to risk being hurt by anyone... and that is my choice... but then there are days when I will feel sorry for myself and wonder why I have no one to love me.. I have no one to love me because I won't let anyone in...
we are not alone naturally.. we are alone by choice.. just like we are with someone by choice...
there are plenty of scripture in the bible that states it is not God's intention for us to be alone... that we are not to bear things alone.. that we are to have companionship.. we are to have love in our lives.. while there are periods of being alone.. overall.. we are not created to be alone... it is a comfort zone for many of us.. me included...
I think I am making a decision that I am done being alone...
