The more one enters into understanding (via the Spirit and His Word) the presence of the enmity God has placed between believers and unbelievers (chiefly between Christ and His, and Satan and his, which are unbelievers - Gen 3:15), the more potential there is for the tendency of loneliness, due to that fact that there will always be less of the former in comparison of the latter (Mat 7:13, 14).

Little is it realized but truly it is so, that only those who are believers are literally connected with many others, which includes the Sovereign Trinity and all who are reborn now in heaven and still on earth! Knowing and understanding this is a significant enablement against vulnerability to loneliness. Sadly though, this also means that unbelievers are not connected to any other single soul—in heaven nor on earth—which makes it a big universe in which to be alone.
The Christian life is not our living a life like Christ, or our trying to be Christ-like, nor is it Christ giving us the power to live a life like His; but it is Christ Himself living His own life through us; 'no longer I, but Christ.'" -MJS

Hello Netchaplain :)

God bless you this day.

Amen! Thank you for sharing.

Upon reading your post, I was immediately reminded of:

Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)

12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,


I am so grateful for The Lord, His companionship and the cloud of witnesses, the brothers and sisters in Christ, here and in Heaven. It is terribly sad for those who do not believe, and I continue to pray for many. God's will be done.

God bless and keep you and yours, Netchaplain.
Your sister in Christ,
Mack

Thanks Sis for the comments! The title is a draft from Heb 12, and the article was not only to show what we have but also for any lost who happen to see it.

God bless, and God be blessed!
