Lonely?
I need friends. Where can I find
friends? Does this sound like you? Is loneliness putting a damper on your life?
Friends are obviously the key to overcoming loneliness - so we would like to
introduce you to some friends who really care - to a friendship that you can
really depend on.
-----------------------------
`You are never alone.
You are never in a place where you have no one to have interest in you. Our
heavenly Father has given His Son to die for you. The cross of Calvary testified
that He takes a deep interest in your welfare, for you are the purchase of the
Son of God. . . . If you will find heart and voice to pray, He will be
sure to hear, and an arm will be reached down to save you. There is a God that
hears prayer, and when all other resources fail, He is your refuge, a very
present help in time of trouble.’ (TDG184)

`To every sincere prayer an
answer will come. It may not come just as you desire, or at the time you
look for it; but it will come in the way and at the time that will best
meet your need.’ (MYP250) |
`God will be nearer and
dearer to you than any of your earthly relatives can be. He will be your
friend and will never leave you. . . . His friendship will prove sweet
peace to you.’ (2T314)
`The relations between God
and each soul are as distinct and full as though there were not another
soul for whom He gave His beloved Son.' (SC100)
Therefore, `do not be
anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God.' (Philippians 4:6)
`We are never alone. Whether we
choose Him or not, we have a companion. Remember that wherever you are, whatever
you do, God is there. Nothing that is said or done or thought can escape His
attention.’ (MH490)
`To every sincere prayer an
answer will come. It may not come just as you desire, or at the time you look
for it; but it will come in the way and at the time that will best meet your
need. The prayers you offer in loneliness, in weariness, in trial, God answers,
not always according to your expectations, but always for your good.’ (MYP250)

`Nothing that the divine
hand has made has been forgotten by the divine mind.' (1SM 216) |
`Your only safety and
happiness are in making Jesus your constant counselor. You can be happy in Him if
you had not another friend in the wide world. Your feelings of unrest and
homesickness or loneliness may be for your good. Your heavenly Father
means to teach you to find in Him the friendship and love and consolation
that will satisfy your most earnest hopes and desires. . . . Do not be
overanxious about anything. Go quietly about your duty which the day brings you.
Do the best you can; ask God to be your helper.’ (OHC64)
`To those who thus acquaint
themselves with Jesus, the earth will nevermore be a lonely and desolate
place. It will be their Father's house, filled with the presence of Him
who once dwelt among men.’ (CG47)
`God's children are never
absent from His mind.' (DA 313)
