By turning from the loneliness of sin and unbelief

to faith in Jesus Christ, you can have confidence

that God cares for you:

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only

begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him

should not perish, but have everlasting life”

(John 3:16).

Won’t you put your trust in Him today?

Page 2: God Cares for You

The loneliness of those dark moments as the Savior

carried our sin cannot be adequately pictured on

paper. Cold print cannot convey it. But is it any won-

der that He is now able to sympathize and enter in as

we battle feelings of loneliness? Those who bear the

scars of that silent warfare need no explanation of

the pain—only an invitation to share in the wound

and, if possible, help in the healing.

When we are lonely, we need an understanding

friend. Jesus is the One who sticks “closer than a

brother” (Proverbs 18:24). When we are lonely, we

need strength to keep putting one foot in front of

the other—Jesus is the One who strengthens us

(Philippians 4:13). When we are lonely, we need to

lift our eyes off ourselves. Jesus, the “author and

finisher” of the life of faith, invites us to fix our

eyes on Him and refuse to give up (Hebrews 12:1-3).

God is a specialist when the anguish is deep. His

ability to heal the soul is profound...but only those

who fully rely on His Son experience relief.

God really does care for you!Some time ago someone placed this ad in a

Kansas newspaper:

I will listen to you talk for 30 minutes without

comment for $5.00.

Sounds like a hoax, doesn’t it? But the person was

serious. Did anybody call? You bet. It wasn’t long

before this individual was receiving ten to twenty

calls a day. The piercing pain of loneliness was so

sharp that some were willing to try anything for a

half hour of companionship.

God knows, my friend, and He does care. Please

believe that! He not only knows and cares, He

understands, He is touched, He is moved. And

He longs to sustain and deliver us.

Jesus Christ Himself experienced the maximum

impact of loneliness, as He hung on the cross. His

friends had already fled. One had betrayed Him.

Now for a period of time the Father turned away. In

the bottomless agony of that moment, the Lord cried

out—He literally screamed aloud (Matthew 27:45-46).
