I haven't reached out to many people anymore. Every time I do they are to busy so I just give up trying. I stopped going to Church in person and watch online every sunday and I feel disconnected. I live alone,. No kids. So its just me. And I don't know where I'm going in life or what God has for me or what my purpose is. I feel in limbo. I feel a sense that I need community, but nobody calls or checks in. When I check in or message someone I get nothing back but short quick messages. I feel forgotten by church members. I have to move forward and maybe time to move on somewhere else. I don't know. ?
I hear you. I’ve been there. I’m still there in a lot of ways. It’s hard but we have to keep reaching out. You will find those kindred spirits. The enemy’s greatest tactic is to make us too busy which leaves us isolated and lonely. Sometimes we have to keep taking the first step and trust God to bring those we need around us. Keep returning to Him. Even when others don’t respond, He is always there.
Such a timely word, Sarah. I was stood up just this week and it hurt just as you described. Thank you for the reminder that I do not have to be that person - that I can and will choose to see and hear those who God puts in my way.
This post resonated with me. So often I would feel a nudge to reach out to someone and would think to myself: “ why do I always need to be the one reaching out?” God changed my heart and now when I feel the nudge I call or drop a text! It has blessed me!
This is very timely as I navigate discouragements constantly it seems. I keep reminding myself it’s not in my own power. I am socially awkward but I really care about people and want to make those connections. So I must trust God with the process and keep reaching out.
Same! But I think it’s a gift that we have the strength to keep reaching out knowing that God sees us always, even in the hurt, we still choose to show up for His children ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for being there for others.. it is such a blessing even If it does take coming out of my comfort zone... it isn't always easy to do for sure not.. but I really think that's what God intended...

Robin- I hear you

Yes 🙌 my word this year is exactly that… choose ❤️❤️❤️
I am a big believer in your message today. We cannot change how others reach out to us but we can make a choice to be to others what we wish we had.
Oh what a blessing we can be to others. It helps chip away at any of the lonely, hurting feelings in our own hearts! Be a blessing to others!
Yes 🙌 it really shifts how we can walk through our own hurt. My word this year is choose.

Same! Now I think, maybe that’s a gift God has given me, the ability and courage to be the one who reaches out and reminds others they are seen ❤️❤️❤️
