Loneliness can sometimes be such a good and persistent teacher if we let it make us ask some hard questions of ourselves:
“Have I pinched my personality in to a mean and meager thing so that it has driven my friends away?’
“Have I laughed in the face of God so often that now I weep in the face of reality?”
“Have I repented of my sins so that now they are fewer, or repeated them again and again till now they are more?”
To lessen the chance that loneliness will assault us we need in our relationships with people to exhibit a willingness to go the extra mile. To stretch our heart strings so that when they are plucked they will give a higher, purer tone.
And if we brought on our own loneliness from God by playing the role of Prodigal Son then we must do the obvious…pray and put one foot after the other in the direction of that God.
If leaving for too long produces loneliness then returning surely bring joy, like the biblical Prodigal.
Loneliness is the result of a one-way street in the game of hide and don’t seek me right now that people sometimes play with their creator. But you want to know something really great?
God keeps on seeking anyway. Seeks when a person is determined not to be found. Seeks when a person is weak-willed and drifting. Seeks until it is a two way street and the traffic is going in both directions, from God to us and from us to God.
All human beings are lonely for God, whether they admit or understand it. They really are!

BELOW IS A QUOTE FROM the SERIES on this Wyrick’s Writings site entitled ANGER IS A KILLER. It began Thursday January 6, 2010.
“Do you enjoy visiting friends? More than likely you’re thinking, Preacher, of course, I do.
Now let me ask the other side of the coin - Do you enjoy visiting enemies? No?
Well, I know you must enjoy visiting at least one enemy because, like myself, you probably visit this one quite often. Unfortunately, we all …visit this enemy…whose name is anger.
Some visit anger seldom . Some on a regular basis. And during those visits, some spew and others stew.”
