What causes the heart to feel lonely? What causes the heart to feel down?
The heart leads to emotions that cause for the human to desire for the returning love. Though the heart awaits for the reciprocated love it can be left with emptiness in return.
It’s like reaching for someone’s hand only for them to turn away. I experienced this in my moment of singleness only to soon realize that this is how God must feel when we deny his love. I distinctly heard the words, “That’s how I feel.”
He created us, loved us, and sent His son for us only to look away and forget that He’s there. When we put other things and people in front of Him and ignore His words and outreaching love, we are turning away from Him instead of walking towards Him. I can only imagine the hurt he feels as the CREATOR to witness so many of His children deny and ignore His love though He never fails to continue to bless us. Scripture shows the book of Isaiah He gives His children both good and bad promises but always states that He looks away for a moment. It’s said to think of the reality that there people out there who look away…for a lifetime.
For those of us that realize this, it’s time for us to say, “I’m so sorry God! I love you and need you.”
