Do you feel alone is this mire of life? Sometimes, I do. Even though I have an incredible little family. You see, the enemy is out to isolate each of us and make us feel as though we are alone. We feel as if our situation is the hardest, the biggest or most painful. In self preservation, I always try to remind myself that, whatever I am going through could be worse. Someone is suffering much more than me. Across the world there are men, women and children dieing in need of basics. How can I be so selfish? Well, we all are like that at times. One of the best lies we fall prey to is "We are alone, no one understands." The "flesh suit" (i.e. Marty) we live in rises up and tells our mind and heart that we deserve better. What is it that we really deserve ? I know the answer and I am glad for God's mercy on me when I think this way. What do you think? What lies set your mind in turmoil at times?

Wow-a very timely post for me to read right now. Thanks for the honesty Sheri.
ReplyDeleteI think for me, the biggest thing that I get challenged with when I feel lonely (quite honestly, a real struggle for me lately) is a perception of being disconnected-even though I know I am surrounded by people who care, people who I really am connected with. Strange how my perception and my logic seem to be completely contradicting each other at times. I would say that that sense of being disconnected is the biggest lie I struggle with.
