Your Question:
What's the point of living if I'm alone?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've had the privilege of walking alongside many individuals who've struggled with feelings of loneliness and isolation. The question of what's the point of living if one is alone is a heavy one, but I believe it's in these moments that we're reminded of our purpose in Christ. We were created to trust Him and love others, and when we're disconnected from that purpose, hopelessness can thrive. You see, being alone is not inherently bad, but it's when we're isolated from others and from God that we can become vulnerable to temptation and sin. As a Christian, I believe that we're never truly alone, for God is always present with us (Proverbs 15:3). However, it's when we neglect our relationship with Him that we can feel disconnected and lost. True self-discovery and fulfillment come from living for God and for others, not for ourselves. In my own life, I've experienced the importance of being alone with God. As a pastor, I've learned that it's in quiet moments of solitude that I can hear His voice and receive guidance. When I'm not alone with Him, I can become distracted by the cares of this world and lose sight of my purpose. But when I prioritize my relationship with God, I find that I'm more connected to Him and to others, and I'm able to live a life of true meaning and purpose.
