We escape, avoid, run from, sell out, opine, regret and purchase friends in order to establish a circumstance where we are never alone. How powerful this feeling that it compels people to accept living with tyrants in horrible oppressive circumstance. It is the muse for the greatest poems, love songs, novels and sonnets in history. It is the cause for great pools of tears, chronic depression and motivation to move mountains to be among others even in slavery.
How can we be alone if God is Omnipresent? That doesn’t count you say. Okay, but isn’t it cause for reflection that we have never really been alone, no matter what our worldly circumstances dictate or indicate? And do we properly understand the positive predictive elements of being alone? Oh, you mean there are additional meanings to that word, some which I may have never investigated? Well yes, that is the power and the irony of words. We must consider what they really mean before allowing the situation to decay to unnecessary exaggerated emotion or occurrence.
Yes, alone can be mean alone, isolated or separated, but it also has additional levels of context. For instance a person can be the only one devoted to their position on the wall watching over the town so that they “alone” are the watchman for the security of others. As well, alone implies a uniqueness unavailable to the masses where she alone can sing the notes of this opera. She is uniquely equipped to do that which no one else may venture. These are positive uses of a powerful word.
I pray that you have accepted the implied gift involved here and somehow take comfort in the fact that alone is not always a bad thing, in fact it can be rewarding. Besides, you have never been alone. The Lord is a living God, participating in your life taking an active role in your protection, provision, maturation and emotional care. Perhaps it is your thinking which may be changed to transform the potency and fear of being “alone”. I pray that the Lord God give you a clear understanding that you have never been and never will alone if you know God. Additionally Lord show them their unique position and characteristics that set them apart as special, alone being the one person who has been equipped to do the work for which they alone have been fearfully and wonderfully made. Thank you Lord for making sure that we can never be alone. It is your great name that I pray today. Jesus Christ my King, My Kin, My Friend, My Lord. Bless your name.
Note: That we were made in “OUR” image, yes that is what the Bible says, our, meaning the image of the Trilogy. Elohim is the plural word for the Triune God in one being. So, if you are made in the image of Father, Son and Holy Spirit then don’t you also have the qualities born of that reflective image. Again you have never been and will never be alone.
