Good Morning...
The definition from "Psychology Today" describes Loneliness as "the state of distress or discomfort that results when one perceives a gap between one's desires for social connection and actual experiences of it. Even some people who are surrounded by others throughout the day—or are in a long-lasting marriage—still experience a deep and pervasive loneliness.
Today I have read some postings of people who are looking for a friend. I wish I could reach out to everyone of you to let you all know that you known and loved. I too struggle with loneliness and it can be a difficult walk. I have to really purpose in my heart to reach out to my Heavenly Father....just to hear a whisper from Him.
This morning I shared some verses to a dear sister and felt compelled to share it here as well. It is from Song of Songs 2: 12-15 (Passion Translation)....
The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived.
I hear the cooing of doves in our land,
filling the air with songs to awaken you and guide you forth.
Can you not discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you?
The early signs of my purposes and plans are bursting forth.
The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere.
The fragrance of their flowers whispers, “There is change in the air.”
Arise, my love, my beautiful companion, and run with me to the higher place.
For now is the time to arise and come away with me.
For you are my dove, hidden in the split-open rock.
It was I who took you and hid you up high in the secret stairway of the sky.
Let me see your radiant face and hear your sweet voice.
How beautiful your eyes of worship and lovely your voice in prayer.
You must catch the troubling foxes, those sly little foxes that hinder our relationship.
For they raid our budding vineyard of love to ruin what I’ve planted within you.
Will you catch them and remove them for me? We will do it together.
I've learned that the "troubling foxes" are "the compromises that are hidden deep in our hearts. These are areas of our lives where we have not yet allowed the victory of Christ to shine into. The foxes keep the fruit of his Spirit from growing within us." (TPT notes)
My prayer for you today is that you would allow the Lord's wrap-around presence fill you with His love for you. You are dearly loved and a "Joy and Delight" to His heart.
Blessings
