In this discussion I hit on a topic most people would rather not talk about: being alone vs. being lonely. there is a big difference between the two. when a person is alone in a positive way there are so many things that can get accomplished. A person can find peace, develop creativity, make better decisions, can hear God, and find the ability to get to know and love oneself. When a person feels lonely, on the other hand, it is a negative mindset in thinking that they need someone or something else besides God and their own company . Loneliness in a distrust of a persons own ability to be by them self and use their own judgement. A lonely person thinks more highly of another person's company and feels the need to fill a negative void that they them self have created.
The Word of God teaches us that it is not good for man to be alone, but we must fill this alone time with the Presence Of God in order to combat the feelings and thoughts of loneliness so that it does not get replaced with sinful thoughts and negative projections from others. God promised He will never leave or forsake us therefore we are never alone.
