Lonely?

That lonely feeling we get, every time no ones around.

Sometimes even when we're surrounded by people.


Things you just cannot tell your friends, things that you feel your family will never understand.


So, who's there to tell..?

We often go looking for that perfect individual who will listen to everything you have to say and all that your heart has to express. High and low we search for that one solitary person. Just one person is enough. Just to eliminate the loneliness inside of us.

But we search at all the wrong places, for all the wrong people.


So, what if I told you I knew someone? Someone who could remove all the emptiness, someone who could be there all the time like no one else could?

The thing about this certain someone is, well, he's perfect. You couldn't find another out there just like him. There will be impostors, people who claim to be like him, people who tell you they're the whole package and that you do not need this "someone" but the truth is, there is no one like him.

You can talk to him, when you're down, when you're alone or when you're happy and have something you need to share.

You can tell him, secrets you could never share, moments you just want to forget or feelings that you are forced to suppress.

You can cry with him, let go of the load that has weighed u down for far too long or let out the hurts that have so often been inflicted upon your heavy heart.

You can rejoice with him, let out your heart's innermost joy and content that you feel others would find petty and silly.


The thing about this certain someone is, he doesn't judge, doesn't misunderstand, doesn't get impatient, always forgiving and ever-ready to serve.
How ironic is it that this certain someone is our God and yet He serves us. And I don't mean the whole slavery kind of thing. I mean, really serve us. I mean, think about it. He goes all the way just to be there for one solitary human being whom most times defies his authority. We sin over and over again and yet He still keeps loving us. And the best part is, no less is His love for us, even after we make the mistakes that we have made before.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm gonna grasp this opportunity. As hard as we can, let us never forget, always remember and never take for-granted this amazing gift that has been bestowed upon us. The gift of an ever-loving friend who will never let you down.
