Today’s Reading: Ephesians 5:28-33; Matthew 19:6 Version ESV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+5%3A28-33%3B+Matthew+19%3A6&version=ESV

Marriage is consummated, is completed in the sexual union. However, marriage goes beyond physical union. Marriage includes all other areas of life: social, mental and spiritual.

They are married! From now on, even though they are two different persons, it is as if they were one person, one flesh.

To love your wife is like loving your own body, says the Bible. There are no straight words like these to describe the union between a man and a woman, and that is done through marriage. They describe the union and leave a warning: The body needs warmth, tenderness and resents abuse!

There is a lot of sexual depravity and depravity of character in our society; this generates anxiety, emptiness, and loneliness. Unfortunately, there is selfishness, fights and separations between spouses; they always leave behind a trail of suffering and distress. However, nothing can destroy or obscure the union between a man and a woman who was made before God and with his blessing. Such a union brings life, joy, sincerity, comfort and is the basis of society. What God has joined together, no human being will be able to destroy.

loneliness 2
Today’s Reading:John 16:32 Version ESV
Sitting on a garden bench, was an old sleepy, sad and lonely man affected by the loneliness that usually approaches the elderly.

Loneliness is sometimes felt among many people in the big cities, among strangers who pass quickly, without time to even say good morning. But we can also be very lonely in the middle of the family with us.

To confront the sunset of life with dignity, peace and serenity, you must have faith in God. To have much faith is also to have the experience of the intimate communion with God. One must learn to talk to God and tell Him what happens in our heart.

It must feel, in the silence of solitude, the presence of the unchanging God, who was the same yesterday, today and is the same forever. That awesome intimacy with God that helps us confront the difficult and turbulent situations. It helps us face the tiredness and problems of old age.

It is good to have Jesus on our side, in difficult days and the lonely old age, not to feel lonely and abandoned. Jesus is always near, right there next to you.

God is With Us

God with Us
Today’s Reading: Psalm 63:8
God made us social beings; to live in the company of family and friends. However, not all like to live in such an environment. When a separation occurs, either a friend or relative, we can feel an immense solitude.

The world is full of lonely people. Those who have been separated by divorce or death are well aware of what is loneliness. Others feel lonely despite being surrounded by crowds.

Missionaries working in remote locations know about loneliness. People who work in counseling centers are dedicated to receive countless calls from people who feel lonely and have no one to talk to. Our Lord Jesus Christ also experienced isolation in the desert and on the cross, saying, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46).

We are children of God and we must not forget that in our solitude, He will never depart from us. Remember the words of David: “My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholds me.”

These words bring us security. In our loneliness, our alienation, God is with us, filling our lives with your presence and your love. When you are alone, remember the words of the poet: “God dwells with me!”

loneliness
Today’s Reading: Deuteronomy 31:8
If loneliness knocks at your door today, please do not let her enter. Close the door and also the windows, use locks and padlocks you have or might have, because loneliness is not a good companion. Loneliness is gloomy and pessimistic, she is always complaining.

Sometimes I think that loneliness is like a disease, a parasite that comes to weaken us, to extract all our vitality, our enthusiasm, our faith. Loneliness is killing us slowly. If loneliness knocks at your door today, please do not let her enter. Close the door and windows as well. Open your life and your heart to God. Let God fill the void in your heart. If you have God in your heart, loneliness leaves.

God is the source of forgiveness, joy and life; and loneliness abhors these things. If loneliness knocks at your door today, overcome selfishness and leave the situation you are in; Better yet, leave your house and leave loneliness behind. Visit your neighbors, your friends; they need your love, tenderness. Observe the flowers along the path; contemplate heaven; stop and see the children playing; breathe the life that is around you.

If loneliness knocks at your door today, get out of yourself and live! She will not bother you again!
