“It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Gen. 2:1818And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. (Genesis 2:18)). God designed man for companionship. He created him to have fellowship with Himself. Without it man’s nature cannot rest. Sin and the results of sin, such as death, have separated man from God and often man from man. The result has been aloneness and loneliness, which all have experienced from time to time. The perfect man, the Lord Jesus, was often alone among men, for they did not understand His thoughts, feelings and motives. But except for the forsaking on the cross, he was never alone or lonely in his fellowship with God. We, too, experience being alone and being without companionship at times among men. But the One who perfectly knows and understands our feelings and needs, has said to us, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Heb. 13:66So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Hebrews 13:6)). May we give joy to His heart by not turning our backs on His love, comfort and fellowship and by not breaking communion with Him through sin. We must learn not to ignore His presence by self occupation with our failed or broken relationships with others, which lead to the feelings of bitterness and that nobody cares. He is and forever will be the “friend that sticketh closer than a brother”—the One who says, “It is I; be not afraid.”
