Am I Lonely?

Overcoming Loneliness, Loving One Another
Posted on 05 January 2009 by Alice Nah
We, who live in cities, are rarely alone. The streets throng with people. Our mobile phones and email accounts keep us within reach. We have spoken to thousands of people over the years. Yet, many of us struggle with loneliness. David too cried out, “Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted” (Psalm 25:16),
How do we overcome loneliness? How do we find meaningful companionship? It begins with a deep revelation of God’s love. Paul prayed that we “may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that [we] may be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:18-19).
Experiencing the sacrificial love of Jesus heals us. It shows us how precious we are, how He knows us intimately (Psalm 139). God tells us repeatedly that He will never leave us or forsake us because of His faithfulness and mercy (Deu 31:6.8; Joshua 1:5; Hebrews 13:5). He is always with us.
How do we respond? The answer is in Jesus’ teaching of the two greatest commandments: to “…love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength”, and to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:29-31). Jesus challenges us further – to love others as He loves us (John 13:34).
To love is to reach out to others, to include them in our lives, to extend beyond thinking of ourselves. It means loving our families, for that is where God set us (Psalm 68:6). It means we stop wearing masks, stop pretending to be perfect. God shows us how to love others – not selfishly, but sacrificially, not because people ‘deserve’ it but because they are precious to God. As we bathe in God’s love, and humbly demonstrate His mercy to others, we find true companionship.

I ask myself one question today : what do i have for my breakfast, lunch and dinner..teatime in between, snacks while revising notes?

I am so blessed to have enough to eat.. thank you Lord:) but...

What about these groups of people out there who struggle to get a meal, who don't have proper nutrients, who have to starve to death? have i forgotten them?! Have i done something or simply because I am just an ignorance student with no power and authority to make a difference, therefore I said to myself : you can do nothing ! ?

Funny isn't it? while there is a group of people whom declare by WHO as being obese and needed to go for expensive diet plan or other treatments, and yet, there are people who don't even have a plate of rice to provide them with daily energy source... what a huge contrast?!

Watch this award winning video clip that talk about the neglected society, and what poverty has done to them! Is a true story and I believe there are so many others similar story out there waiting to be uncover.

I also believe that God is equal. He made the mother nature with enough food sources to feed everyone of us. As a christian, actions should be taken--- to END HUNGER.

Hope that this video clip will speak to you as it has spoken to me.
