Finding Comfort in God's Love.

As I sit awake at 11 pm, with an early workday looming ahead, my talkative kitty Diego keeps me company. His persistent "conversations" remind me that even in solitude, I'm not alone. In my quiet moments, I reflect on my life, where it's just me, God, and my loving pets. Sometimes, the desire for someone special by my side creeps in, threatening to overwhelm me with loneliness.

However, I quickly remind myself to trust in God's promise and timing. His peace envelops me, calming my mind and heart. I draw strength from biblical examples like Ruth and Esther, who didn't ask for romantic partners but received extraordinary blessings from God ¹. Ruth, who sought refuge in Israel, found love with Boaz, a humble and kind man. Esther, who didn't seek a husband, became queen and found favor with King Ahasuerus.

These stories reassure me that God's plans surpass my desires. When I wait patiently, allowing His peace to guide me, He will grant me the desires of my heart. This realization brings comfort, silencing my doubts and overthinking. 

In moments of weakness, I'm reminded that I'm already loved by the One who gave His life for me. This love transcends human relationships, offering a sense of belonging and purpose. As 1 John 4:19 says, "We love Him, because He first loved us".

To deepen this love, I focus on:

- Ridding myself of lesser loves:

Letting go of distractions and misplaced affections to make room for God's love. 

- Understanding God's love:

Recognizing the depth of His love, demonstrated through Jesus' sacrifice.

- Knowing God personally: 

Building a personal relationship through prayer and scripture.

In this journey, I've come to realize that loneliness fades when I'm centered in God's love. My heart finds rest, knowing I'm cherished by the ultimate Companion.

A Love that Transcends. 

So, am I lonely? Not when I'm wrapped in God's embrace. His love is my solace, my strength, and my guiding light. In His presence, I'm complete, lacking nothing.
