There is a different between being lonely and being alone. In the words of the great Relient K "Loneliness and solitude are two things not to get confused because I spend my solitude with You"(Therapy-Forget and Not Slow Down)

If you are feeling loneliness you can turn that into aloneness. Lonely has no purpose, alone can help you find your purpose.

How do you turn loneliness into aloneness?

Step 1: Recognize feelings of loneliness as God's cry for time with you. He misses you. When you feel lonely, God's wanting to talk to you.

Step 2: Talk back to your emotions. If you start thinking that no one cares about you or that you lonely, talk back. You're being lied to. You are always cared about.

Step 3: Learn to choose. You can always choose the way you go. You may not be able to choose the circumstances but you can choose your reaction to them.

Step 4 Reach out your others. Give out what you want to receive. If you give friendship you will get friendship. Look for others who are feeling lonely too.

Noted from the Peanut Gallery:
Technically this question was asked tonight but realistically no one who goes to Youth group read the blog so this is for all the rest of you. What are some good ways to reach out to someone when you are feeling lonely?
