What is loneliness? Loneliness is defined by researches as feeling lonely more than once a week. Loneliness causes people to feel empty, alone and unwanted. Loneliness is an unpleasant emotional response to perceived isolation. Loneliness overlaps and yet is distinct from solitude. Solitude is simply the state of being apart from others. Everyone who experiences solitude doesn't feel lonely.
Loneliness has no respect of persons. It doesn't look at your social or economic status. You can suffer from social loneliness, emotional loneliness, family loneliness, romantic loneliness, and lockdown loneliness.
Social loneliness is the loneliness people will experience because of the lack of social network.
Emotional loneliness results from the lack of deep, nurturing relationship with other people.
Family loneliness results when individuals feel they lack close ties with family members.
Romantic loneliness can be experienced by lack of a close bond with a romantic partner.
Lockdown loneliness refers to loneliness resulting because of social disconnection due to enforced social distancing and lockdowns, especially during COVID-19 pandemic.
If you or someone you know is feeling any form of loneliness, fear no longer. God is ALWAYS with you. You are never alone, because God's Spirit is with you. ALWAYS! Jesus Christ is the best antidote to loneliness.
God is always faithful. No matter how you may feel. No matter who may leave you. God is always there. He loves you more than you could ever possibly imagine or comprehend.
"Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou are there: if I make by bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me." (Psalm 139:7-10)
