I Am Alone






As I look at the world around me, more and more I see people who are alone. Our culture has become so secluded. We wake up, go about our days with little to no live human interaction. Many, if not most of our relationships occur via the Internet. For those who have no relationship with Jesus Christ the loneliness presses down with a weight so heavy that it becomes unbearable. I wonder how many people in your social network have gone weeks or more without one touch, one genuine smile, one honest face-to-face conversation? I am hoping to have my eyes open to the world around me, to see people at the heart level as Jesus sees.

I Am Alone

I am alone
I am in a crowd
No one sees me
I am alone


I am alone
One in a sea of students
They are laughing
They think they know me
I let them believe
But I am alone






I am alone
People around me
I see thier faces
Feel their pity
I have no home
I am alone



I am alone
I choose the masses
They are yelling
I sense their anger
My pain is hidden
I am alone



I am alone
Though married for decades
Children around me
Envied by many
Known by no one
I am alone



I am alone
Screaming around me
Spitting and hitting
Thorns and nails
Living, dying, living
You are not alone


Jesus said..., “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26
