We can feel alone for we were ultimately meant to be in "full" relationship with God, even more so than Adam and Eve were. In our fallen states, we no longer have this intimacy as regularly (we do get glimpses of it). I think most here will know what I mean when I say at times I feel so very close to God and at others I feel very far away indeed. Sometimes I feel I could actually walk on the sea and at others I cannot even fathom being on the sea in a boat, much less walking on it. <br><br>We were designed for a relationship with God and thus loneliness is a part of the curse (we are not in the Garden anymore, but are looking for the covenantal relationship of the Garden, physically-face to face, not just spiritually). When we get into glory, then we will have this relationship in its fullness restored. In Christ, here on earth we may but practice it intermittently, and some fare better at it than others. Prayer, walking in the Spirit, the Word, et. al. all play a part on just how alone or how full our relationship here on earth is with our Father.<br><br>Come Lord Jesus, Come!
Reformed and Always Reforming,
