Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy. - Proverbs 14:10

Dear Heavenly Father I find such great comfort in this little verse, because you are showing me that you understand how alone I feel at times. When I am hurting inside sometimes it seems like even the most well-meaning loved one cannot open the door of my heart and enter there where I am. Even when I am extremely happy I can sense a tinge of solitary confinement because those that rejoice with me seem to force their words. This little jewel says that it is the lot of every human. I am not alone in being alone. Everyone else is too. Except we are not alone because not only do you understand, you also are with us in every moment, good and bad. Thank you for graciously staying with me and for telling me that you understand. Help me to find peace in you in my solitary life. AMEN

"You cannot be alone anywhere in the world since in God we live and move and have our being."
