Five Minute Friday: Lonely

Today, I'm joining with some crazy, brave and inspiring women at the blog of Lisa Jo Baker. Each Friday she gives a prompt and with that prompt, writers write for 5 minutes with no second-guessing. Just writing what comes to them. Then, they share and encourage each other. What a great {and scary} idea. 

I'm joining in and challenging you to do the same! Today's prompt is "Lonely "

Ready? Go!

Dear Sister,

Yes, you who have been hurt. You who have been broken for others just to have them try and break you in your vulnerability. You who would say to me that maybe God just isn't paying that much attention to you because "He's busy...or something...".

Do you know how loved you are? Oh, if you could only see His love for what it truly is, you would put down the lies of isolation and run into His arms. You would allow Him to heal you and bring people along side of you who would build you up. And then He would whisper words of love...
and hope....
and a future...

Dreams.

Yes, I can tell you this because I've lived it and I know it to be so very true. He took me out of my loneliness {pride} and set me right in His purpose, surrounding me with friends who encourage. And then He gave me a glimpse at His dreams for me {humility}.

Would you let me walk beside you for a moment? I have a feeling He may be allowing me to be one of the people who surround you and say, "Not alone" and "Loved" and "Treasured".

Let those words sink in. You.Are.Loved....with Him? Never lonely. Never lonely again...
