A revival preacher posted the following quote:
"If we are going to walk in holiness...we're going to be a lonely people." - Paul Ravenhill
The Lord had me respond:
The definition of "lonely" is: feeling friendless, forlorn. Synonyms of "lonely" are: abandoned, alone, apart, by oneself, comfortless, companionless, deserted, desolate, destitute, estranged, forsaken, godforsaken, left, lone, lonesome,... outcast, rejected, renounced, secluded, single, solitary, unbefriended, uncherished...
HOW CAN A FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST BE CONSIDERED LONELY? TRULY JESUS IS WITH US ALWAYS, NEVER LEAVING NOR FORSAKING US! HOLY SPIRIT IS THE FRIEND WHO STICKS CLOSER THAN A BROTHER. THE PARADIGM MUST BE 'WHAT DOES THIS THING/WORD MEAN IN GOD'S KINGDOM - NOT WHAT DOES 'LONELY' MEAN IN TERMS OF THE WORLD.
I AM NEVER ALONE...HE IS WITH ME ALWAYS. I AM NOT LONELY NOR FORSAKEN - HE IS EVER-PRESENT. HE ACCEPTS ME, COMFORTS ME, IS MY CONSTANT COMPANION, MY TRUE LOVE.
What is YOUR confession?!?!?
