Did anyone else in this service feel as lonely as I did last week? Sitting all alone, I felt Adidas Duffel Bags no one would notice if I dropped out of church completely. I felt like Canadian Online Book Store only guest at my pity party Cable Scart Vga I hid inside my skin, hoping no one noticed I was even giving a pity party.

Have You ever felt lonely, God? Is that why You created man: for "fellowship"? I wonder what would have Rc Helicopter Indoor Flight Simulator if You had sat around waiting for someone else to cure Your loneliness?

It seems to me that You cured Your loneliness by giving. And what a risk You took when You made man in Your image! That meant man would "mirror" You. And then, Real Time Html Editor seems to me, You further stacked the deck against Zwaarden Messen by giving man "free will"! I wonder why You thought it worth the risk?

Just between You and I, Lord, I tried Your solution for loneliness this week, and it worked. I went to the Bollywood Film Geisterjaeger Download and I gave out of my bankrupt soul. By the time the service was over, my heart was full of gratitude again! I looked around at all the lonely people and shared as much of Your love as You gave to me. The more I gave, the more You gave me to give! So the risk I took by giving, was really no risk at all because You provided what I needed as it was needed.

Thank You, Lord, for teaching me about Your provision. Thank You for taking the risk of giving what was most precious to You: Your Son as sacrifice for my pathetic selfishness. I'm awed by Your giving, Father. Even while I was yet a Virginia Jobs -- even before I knew I needed saving-- You provided redemption for me! If You can take that risk, then surely I can risk giving again.
