Big Feelings: Taking Them to GodBig Feelings: Loneliness2 Timothy 4:9-22; Acts 15:36-40; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; Hebrews 13:5Near the end of his life, Paul was in a cold prison in Rome. Many friends had gone away. He wrote to Timothy, "Come quickly! Only Luke is with me. Bring my cloak. And bring Mark." Long before, Paul and Mark had split up. Now Paul wanted him back. Paul wrote, "Everyone deserted me. But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me." Loneliness is a big feeling we can take to God. He is always with us, and He made us for friendship, so we reach out to others too.New TestamentFriendship
