Mr. Lonely?

For some strange reason, I never have a title for any of my posts until I've finished writing the post. Hmm, who knows.

So this week has been interesting, full of a lot of good and hurtful truth. My dad once told me, and so has Jesus,

"When you realize that you have to be alone to best serve God, you will see Him move in your life the most."

This I know, I saw it coming the first time I had read Matthew.
People who I thought were my close friends, turn out to be quite the opposite. So why do I continue to love them while they don't feel the same? Is it because of my spiritual maturity in Christ now? I'm not sure.

I may be classified as isolated, less talkative, boring, etc because of my maturity.
Isolating myself from secular conversations.
Less goofy/talkative because of the seriousness I take from my leadership role.
Being a leader is hard work.
Being a disciple is hard work.
Serving God is hard work.

I find myself alone.
Yes I have friends and yes I have people that care about me sincerely.
I'm alone spiritually, minus God.

God provided Adam with a companion because he knows that man cannot be alone. Men (and women) need someone there by there side no matter what kind of love. Friendship, wife, family.
There's only a select.
Don't get me wrong, I have wonderful people in my life in which to all I love sincerely, but I guess that's just me.

I feel better.
My God is here with me.
That's Who I will ever need.
Thank you.
And thank you to all of my friends who are in my life and to those who were, for somehow God has used you to shape me.
