loneliness...”

Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
How cruel, indeed, the pangs of
loneliness. Our Living God Never intended that man ever would be
alone and forsaken!
Psalm 38:11 NLT
My loved ones and friends stay away,
fearing my disease. Even my own family stands at a distance.
Psalm 102:7 KJV
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone
upon the house top.
Sin, separates, and it has separated
us, from our loving Heavenly Father. The answer for loneliness is to
return, return to our Creator, and Savior, who has come so that we
may be reunited, and that forever.
II Corinthians 5:21 NLT
For God (The
Father) made Christ (His
Son), who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so
that we could be made right with God through Christ.
Acts 2:21 KJV
And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord shall be saved.
Did
Jesus know loneliness?
John 16:32 KJV
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.
The Apostle Paul?
II Timothy
4:16-18 KJV
16 At my first answer no man
stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it
may not be laid to their charge.
(But the apostle,
had an answer!)
17 Notwithstanding The Lord stood
with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be
fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was
delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18 And The Lord shall deliver me
from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom:
to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Psalm 27:10 KJV
When my father and my mother forsake
me, then The Lord will take me up.
Never
Alone
I've seen the lightning flashing,
And heard the thunder roll,
I've felt sin's breakers dashing,
Trying to conquer my soul;
I've heard the voice of my Savior,
Telling me still to fight on,
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
Refrain: (Sing Twice)
No, never alone,
No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
The world's fierce winds are
blowing,
Temptation's sharp and keen,
I have a peace in knowing
My Savior stands between-
He stands to shield me from danger,
When earthly friends are gone,
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
When in affliction's valley
I'm treading the road of care,
My Savior helps me to carry
My cross when heavy to bear,
Though all around me is darkness,
Earthly joys all flown;
My Savior whispers His promise,
"I never will leave thee
alone."
He died for me on the mountain,
For me they pierced His side,
For me He opened the fountain,
The crimson, cleansing tide;
For me He's waiting in glory,
Seated upon His throne,
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.

in you.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is
Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at The
Right Hand Of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we
are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the
slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Behold, I stand at the door, and

him..."
