I've never felt this lonely before, I'm slowly losing all my friends. Nobody' s calling me up anymore , nobody asks about me anymore nor whether i want to hang out, it's like i'm becoming invisible. I'm always there for people , i never complain or bother people with my stories, i always listen to what they have to say, and it was working out great last year, everyone used to say i'm the nice guy who's friends with everyone, they used to come and share with me a lot of personal stuff. I guess when they ran out of things to say, it wasn't worthy to stay friends with me anymore. Never would i have thought that it would come to this point. I feel so useless... | |
When you say 'nobody is calling me up' maybe that's a sign that you should call somebody. I'm so lazy, I can't be bothered seeing my friends sometimes, and I probably will end up losing them. But at least I might be able to help somebody else who is having the same problem :) So, my advice CALL A FRIEND! they might have thought that you didn't want to be friends with them, if they were always making the effort. Who knows they might be really happy that you called them and BAM! you have an old friend back.
And by the way, if people said that you were a nice guy, chances are you still are. Don't think you aren't worthy to be friends with. EVERYONE is worthy of a friend. Sorry if this was extremely confusing... >.
The Psalmist cried out, "No man cares for my soul." [Psalm 142:4]. He was experiencing the loneliness of isolation from other people, and the feeling that those around him were pursuing their own interests rather than showing genuine concern for his soul.
People are often pursuing their own interests and desires, but the lesson we must learn is that people are not our source. In the midst of your isolation, you can turn to Christ and discover that His love truly does satisfy. Jesus understands loneliness and rejection. He experienced isolation from people. Because he understands, he is able to bring acceptance and love.
Christ brings you love, acceptance, and intimate communion with the God of love. With Christ, you are not alone. He conquers your loneliness by coming to dwell within you. Loneliness is removed by the presence of the indwelling Christ.
There is precious communion with Christ, when a lonely person discovers that the love of Christ is real and satisfying. There is an old saying, "Blessed are the homesick, for they shall come home." Loneliness and isolation are signs of homesickness, which can only be healed by coming home to Christ.
Christ makes us whole. His love makes us whole, and out of the overflow of Christ's love within us we can then show love and compassion for those around us. Out of the overflow of His love and acceptance for you, which heals your loneliness, you can show love and caring towards those around you.
He knocks at the door of your heart; the presence of Christ is real. But He must be invited into your heart, into the center of your being.
Receive Him; receive His cleansing and forgiveness and love. Allow Him to have the control of your life in a genuine surrender, and His loving presence will fill you, removing loneliness and unrest. May the peace of Christ fill you now!
A Prayer of Surrender:
Dear Lord Jesus, please fill me with your love, and wash away all my sins. I surrender my heart and life to you. I ask you to receive me and make me whole.
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins, to cleanse me and forgive me. Thank you for dying on the cross for me, to make me a child of God. I turn away from all my sins, with all my heart.
I receive you, Lord Jesus, as the Lord and Savior of my life. I ask you to rule in my heart and life from now on. I ask you to fill me with your loving presence, and guard me with your divine protection.
I ask you to strengthen me and help me, to live for you from now on. I ask you to fill me with love so that I can love other people with a pure love. Fill me with love so that I can love you with all of my heart. Amen.
