“Loneliness can weigh down your heart, erode your confidence, and rob you of hope. If that’s where you are right now, consider this: Jesus himself was lonely when, early in His ministry, His family didn’t understand Him. Jesus was lonely when His disciples were slow to recognize Him and slow to understand why he had come. And Jesus undoubtedly felt very much alone when Judas betrayed Him and Peter denied knowing Him. Jesus understands your loneliness. Turn to Him who is with you throughout every day and every night, and you’ll find in Him the sweetest companionship you’ll ever know.”
