Lonely Vs Alone

What if I told you that you're not alone, that you never have been?  What if I told you that there is a person out there who has always loved you and always will, no matter what may happen? Would you believe me? I know that very few of you will. Regardless, I've come to give you some truth. There are far to many people who have felt so lonely for so long that they have convinced themselves that they are truly alone, when in fact, this is far from the truth. I never want you to believe this lie. Drear Reader, I understand what it's like the feel alone. Almost my entire life has been a series of constantly betrayed trust, fake "friends", insecurities, crippling panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, I could go on all day! However, through everyone leaving and giving up on me, I came to realize the one person that never will: Jesus! Today I will help, or try to help you understand that as well. First, I want to explain the difference between feeling lonely and being alone. Feeling lonely is a state of mind where you feel like you are all alone and have nobody in your life who truly cares about you. Sometimes this can feel very real to somebody who is in a state of depression or going through some hard times in their life.  Other times, it can be a minor thing where the feeling only lasts for a few minutes. Actually being alone is very unrealistic and basically impossible to happen to any human being. See, if somebody where to be alone, they would truly have nobody. Loneliness would be more than just a feeling, it would be reality. If you believe that this is true for you, I want you to know that what you're feeling is completely untrue!  People  may leave you, but Jesus never will. When someone is in the midst of tragedy, a lot of the time they push Jesus away. Reader, Jesus can't do anything for you unless you give him a chance. Well, he could, but he loves you enough to not get in the way of the free-will that he gave you." But Ari, what does my free-will have anything to do with Jesus's abilities?" you might ask. This is something that is kind of hard  to understand  but I will try to make it as simple as possible for you. See, if God wrote "Jesus loves you" with stars in the night sky, you would automatically expect the "impossible" and begin to believe without doubt, right? But that's not what God wants, he wants you to come to believe on your own terms. He wants a heart that says yes on it's own. Therefore, unless he saw necessary, God wouldn't show off his special abilities to get you to believe in him, this is something that you have to choose to do. Why? Like I said, he wants you to believe in him on your own, it's much more special and has more meaning than it would if he forced you to.  My dear reader, I want to challenge you to try to feel God's presence. If you can't, talk to him. Tell him that you want to feel him and not be lonely anymore. If he thinks it's best, then you should be able to feel God in your heart and know that he's always around. Since Jesus is always around and will always love you, it is completely impossible for any man/woman to ever truly be alone or without somebody who cares. If you are still not convinced, try to reach out to Jesus, he will be there for you whenever you need him. You can even message me if you have any questions. I should be able to answer all of them, however, If you don't get an answer within a week or more, send the question again. Whoever you are, whatever you have done or been through, know that Jesus still loves you and will never stop. There is nothing you could ever do that would make him stop loving you. He died so that you can be forgiven through believing in him, this is all you need to do Reader, this is all he asks of you. Wherever you are, have an amazing day/night! You are a beautiful, strong creation of God, keep going!

Wow. Okay so I am bvbAngel, and as I was reading I seen a lot of truth in there. Such as when you say that when a person is in the midst if tragedy they ouch Jesus away.. Well I recently have went through this and pushing him away. But there are reasons as to why I did now yea I still pray to him, but I dont really believe he is there for everyone anymore. But I'm not gonna go on about that, what I'm gonna say is that I really liked reading this, I really needed to read something like this recently, so thank you wo much for sharing this. I feel all too many can relate to this, which is so sad. I feel as if you well described the difference between alone and lonely. You well defined them both and I feel the reader got the message that they aren't alone. I feel that reading this was amazing and that someone could put this into words. Thank you foe sharing this with everyone!!!!

You are very welcome! Do you want to send me a message as to why you don't think Jesus is there for you? He has proven many times to me that he is always there!

I'm sorry but I don't want to bother anyone with my issues. Thank you though!! I really appreciate it

You are not a bother! Jesus and I would be honored to listen! But if you don't feel comfortable, that's fine. Try talking to Jesus!

Its nothing personal. Its just I dont like talking about myself nor feelings. Thank you so much

You're very welcome you beautiful, strong creation!

Interesting concept. What if someone won't accept Jesus into their life? Are they alone then? What if somebody does not believe in Jesus? Does their faith figure prevent loneliness? So many questions.

Message me, I will answer them!

Hi, I'm not quite sure what exactly this is supposed to be (like an essay, speech, or post). Anyways, the main critique that I want to give is that this is just a giant paragraph and it was difficult to get through as a reader. I think your message would be more powerful if you structured it a little bit more. Give it a more defined introduction and conclusion. Good luck to you :)!
