Alone but not lonely

I am often seen alone in a corner with my thoughts.


They're right. I am alone.

I fought my battles since I was a child on my own.

or so I thought I did.

I was abused as a child.

I was rejected as a person.

I let anger and hatred build up in me.

I engaged myself in the dark arts seeking for vengeance.

I also rejected people out of my life.

I took things that did not belong to me.

I grew up in poverty.

I rebelled,

and rebelled,

and rebelled.





I was torn, scathed and convicted.

a prisoner in my own dungeon of fear and sin.


That was before I met a Savior.

Someone who cared for a rubbish like me.

He cared for my soul.

He cared for my life.

I found a new hope in Him.

I found love in His eyes.

I was not rejected from His presence.

I found home in His arms.

I am safe there.

I am clean there.

I am loved there.

I am secured there.



He whispered the words I longed to hear:



You may be alone in their eyes, but you are never lonely.

You have Me.

It's all that matters.




Now, I am so filled with His love I want Him to use me mightily. I want the world to have Him too,

Because I know the world needs not to be lonely.


The world needs a Savior, like I did.
