Loneliness
Loneliness is a thing of the past. All the things
you do not want are of the past. They are already gone. All the unwanted is moving out. Loneliness, which was always fiction,
has made its exit. Loneliness is a misbelief. Throw it out now.
You also know that the opposite of loneliness
is not company.
Sense of loneliness is like something you think
of eating. It is a thought like any other. It is not something visited on you. It does not come from outside you. It dwells
within.
Now, why would you keep a sense of loneliness?
You keep it like a plant. You water it. You sniffle and feel forlorn.
Feeling lonely is a way to say: "Look at how
I am all alone! No one loves me." You yearn for you know not what, and so you wait to be rescued.
When you find yourself feeling lonely, forget
yourself and think of someone else. Think of what a little kindness from you could mean to someone who feels alone. Pull up
a chair and brighten someone else's life.
This is the cure, I tell you. Get those thoughts
of aloneness away from you.
If there is no one for you to visit, then visit
in your mind those who could use a greeting. Bless them with your thoughts.
Loneliness comes from thinking about yourself
and how you are alone. You tell yourself stories. Make up other stories to tell yourself.
Beloveds, even if you are alone, you are not
alone! Where your body is, is irrelevant. Where your heart is, is another story. Move your heart over here. Come sit beside
Me. Tell Me something. While away the time with Me. Enter My heart, and know this is where you are. This is where you abide.
This is your Home, here with Me. Keep Me close to you, and you will know what love is. You will forget the illusion of loneliness.
You will drive down another road and wave at everybody.
Come into the carriage of My heart, and We will
tour the world. We will pick people up along the way. There will be no stragglers. My coach fits all, and all are welcome.
The very idea that anyone could feel loneliness
when your heart rides with Mine! Alone with Me is not alone. And to be alone with Me is an impossibility. Being without Me
would be lonely. It is too awful to contemplate.
Contemplate then a heart that encompasses the
world. Pick up the world and place it in your heart. The world has been neglected. It has not been treated well. Let's give
the world a ride of a lifetime. Let's lift it up and carry it high. Let's wipe off dust from the world and put the world back
on its feet. Let's love this world that carries the colors of imperfection. Let's make a tryst with it.
Speak to the world. Say to it: "From now on,
world, you are coming with me. I will not separate myself from you again. Now we are partners. Now we go hand in hand. Now
we go heart in heart. World, it only seems that I walk on you, yet it is I who carries you and takes you with me to show you
the wonders of you that are you, that are I, and with God, that we are One."
