Solitude is not loneliness

I encourage you to thank God for the times that he allows you to be alone with your own thoughts and emotions.

For me this is a time to connect with the spiritual world that is, to me, very real and personal.

This isn't a fantasy world, but is a reality that many seem to either reject or just ignore anymore in the name of what I don't know.

I have some space now to appreciate the spiritual blessings that God has imposed on me now.

I can sit in the silence and connect with our spiritual brothers and sisters yes but God himself and his angels.

I have the freedom to do this and for this I am extremely grateful.

God is real and loves you despite your humanly defects that may interfere with your earthly relations.

You truly are not alone.

Ever.

May the God of Mercy release you from the demons and Satan himself that may be keeping you chained up in mind, body and soul right now.

Ours is a mighty and forgiving God that sees through all the puffery and deception of ourselves and others.

He wants the best for you and if you find yourself in a moment of solitude, appreciate that moment of silence where you can connect with Our Almighty and forgiving God and then to reconnect with your true brothers and sisters that accompany us on our earthly journey as strangers and sojourners only for a brief moment in history.

Loneliness and isolation are just negative terms for the Grace that God is offering you right now to connect with Him and His Family, the Church in Heaven.

Forgive as you are forgiven.

Believe me that Christ suffered much that we don't even understand so that you may be given life in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit to rejoice and be glad!

May you go forth with the resolution to invite Him into your heart, mind and soul and be healed of the illnesses and sins that seem to weigh us down to the depths of our existence.

Right now I am experiencing a separation from my immediate family and friends that I am sure that they just wouldn't understand based on the spiritual, mental and emotional strain that I have been enduring as a caregiver to my parents and myself.

This is not an excuse for my own sinful behavior during times of stress and abandonment, but it is an opportunity now to reconnect with My Father in Heaven and my deceased father and the rest of my family and friends spiritually.

I find myself alone but ever eager to pray and reconnect with all of them.

Perhaps not in this earthly and imperfect world but for sure in the next.

Yes, Mercy is available to ALL who but take the precious time that we are given to sit and reflect on the good and bad that we have done.

May the Gentle Lamb of God who sacrificed Himself on the Cross be ever present in you heart to guide you now to a place of peace and quiet to be with Him. And with Him your flawed but forgiven family.

May we rejoice in another day.

God bless you and keep you Amen.
