ALONE BUT NOT LONELY
Today's devotional underscores Jesus' assurance that despite being physically alone, he was not lonely because the Father was with him. The message highlights that as believers, we are inseparably united with God, citing verses like 1 Corinthians 6:17 and 1 John 4:15. Read, meditate and be blessed.
"Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.” - John 16:32
Loneliness is a purely human experience that should never happen in the lives of sons and daughters of God. The impossibility of loneliness to those in Christ is in the truth that we are inseparably one with God - 1 Corinthians 6:17; 1 John 4:15. People may desert us for many reasons and though you may physically be alone, yet you can never be lonely because we are always in a divine community - John 14:20. We cannot be deserted enough to feel sad, helpless or hopeless by human disappointments.
Jesus made this clear in our verse above. Yes, it is possible for us to be alone because people are physically not around us, but we are never lonely because we are forever in a divine community. Glory!
Confession
I am in an eternal union with the Godhead; therefore, I am never lonely if even all men desert me. Hallelujah!
