Why are you lonely? Do you not remember?
What about the night I took the sorrow of a sixteen-year-old boy and filled his heart with joy inexpressible?
What about the time a college senior sat solitary in the forest at his campfire, fully aware of my presence?
What about the time a younger man was pulling out of his parents' driveway, suddenly keenly aware that in the midst of his grandparents' ill health, a failed relationship, and several other trials, I would carry him through his heartache?
Why are you lonely? Do you not remember?
Did I not say that I would never leave and never forsake?
Did I not adopt you into my family with eternal finality?
Did I not rescue your soul from darkness?
Remember, my son, that you are called by My name and are by rights my child.
Remember, my son, that I have taken your calcified heart and utterly transformed it.
Remember, my son, that I will faithfully love you regardless of your stumbles along the way.
Be not lonely, my son, and remember that I am with you now and forever.
Remember that I am God, who calls you out from darkness and into marvelous light.
