When You Feel Lonely Even When Surrounded By People
Connection—For me, this is the reason why someone still feels lonely even when they are surrounded by people. Those individuals never really felt connected to someone’s heart. Nobody knows who they are, and nobody asks either. So, they felt like statues, physically present but emotionally disconnected. Every time I feel this way, these are the two things that I usually do: Connecting to God First I keep on reminding myself that Someone is interested in knowing more about me. He may see what’s in my heart, but He takes delight in listening to my deepest thoughts and desires. I surrender what I feel to God. I simply pour out everything,…
