ALONE

If we focus on how society views  being alone we would esteem it as a problem. Many view being alone as being unloved, not special or insignificant and such is so far from the truth.  Your visions were received while you were alone.   Some of our deepest thoughts about life occurred while we were alone.  You and I were able to examine our lives and place a value upon ourselves while we were alone. Being alone does not mean that you are not loved. Sometimes being alone is because the individual is unable to love and appreciate you for the wonderful person you are. Rather than devaluing your life, causing emotional and mental havoc in your world, you were left alone to permit someone else to love, maintain, support and appreciate you.

Moses was alone before he became the deliverer for God's people. John the Baptist was alone in the wilderness and Jesus said that we could not find a greater prophet. Rosa Parks was alone when she stood against prejudice and racism and Martin Luther King was alone when he stood against the Catholic church.  The best visions, reformations and spiritual leaders were not birth as twins or triplets; they were born alone.  There is a special and significant reason for you being alone at this stage in your life.  I want you to know that it is not because you don't matter or because no body loves you; God is ensuring that the right people at the appointed time enter your world and become a part of your life.  

Have you ever purchased a gift for someone special? You did your best to find that specific gift that would convey to the recipient how you feel about him/her.  You also did your best to keep the gift as a secret until the appointed time.  This is exactly what God is doing in your life. He is preparing you as a gift for that special person and while so doing, He is keeping you as His secret  until the appointed time. There is a person who needs your friendship, there is a person who needs your advice, there is someone who really needs your love and devotion and there is also someone who need your skills to help solve a problem.  God is preparing you as His special gift to meet the needs so many and this is why you are alone. You are being prepared to be that SPECIAL PERSON for so many. Enjoy your alone time and allow patience to have her perfect work in you. You will be complete and wanting nothing. Love, friendship, marriage, church family and so much more awaits the completion of your alone time.  You are not alone after all because you are in the Potter's hands being prepared to be embraced by so many people who are waiting to encounter, receive, appreciate and love you. ALONE is good and also positive.
