The weight of loneliness hit me really hard a few weeks ago. I couldn’t explain why.
I live on the same property as my family and see them daily. Our small, flourishing church plant provides plenty of weekly fellowship and ministry opportunities. I work at a doctor’s office where I have growing relationships with my coworkers. I try to open my home or get together with girls who live locally all the time.
I am not alone. So why do I feel so lonely?
Add to that, one day, my singleness started hitting me more. “Oh great,” I thought, “why now?” Just earlier this summer, I told the Lord I would be content to be single the rest of my life if that is what He deemed best. Why are these longings of my heart appearing again?
