Loneliness

This is a pretty relevant topic to all people –
“Loneliness has nothing to do with the presents of people… is the hunger of the human heart for emotional intimacy -The need to feel connected.” David T. Moore
Loneliness is the human need to feel intimately connected and lack of meaningful contact w/ others.
it’s an emotional problem for all people.
n No one else can fix this problem but ourselves
Acceptance is peoples greatest personal need
Acceptance gives us an anchor
A –Acceptance is not optional- aggressive reaching out to others – biblical obligation
“don’t show favoritism” we are to go out of your way for others
C- Christ Accepts us for who we are – he accepted us 1st. Does not expect continued perfection. – we need to meet other needs not focus on meeting our needs
When people are left vulnerable to emotional loneliness when they encounter life changes and decisions – The church needs to meet these types of needs --
