Desires...

Yesterday, I wrote on Life with Lynnie (LwL) about love.  After all, the end of love month, February, has arrived.

In addition, I mentioned that a relative of mine had remarried.  She had been a widow less time than I have been.

I was happy for her, to have once again found love in her life. 

To be honest, it wasn't really new found love.  Apparently, they met and had feelings for each other 42 years ago.  At that time, their lives were taking them in different directions.  They never got together.

Later, they each married.  Not to each other. 

After many years, they reconnected after finding out that they each were unattached, once again.  What a loving circumstance.  My heart bursts with happiness for them.

Even so, I felt rather sad, for myself.  At least for a short time. 

Trusting God for everything in my life, helps me get through those times of sadness that affects all who have lost someone they love.

Still, from time to time, I feel lonely.  When thinking like this, I am sometimes reminded of a song.  Here it is:

Lonely People -  America http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonely_People

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky

This is for all the single people
Thinking that love has left them dry
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try

Well, I'm on my way
Yes, I'm back to stay
Well, I'm on my way back home

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And never take you down or never give you up
You never know until you try

There are times when many people feel like life has passed them by.  I know, because I sometimes feel like this.

Even though I feel like this from time to time, God reminds me that I must never give up, just as the song says. 

God has His plan for me, in my life.  And, He already knows where my life will lead me.

Thinking this, reminded me of Psalm 16:11, "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."

I am and will always be grateful for the joy in my life.  Not happiness, for there isn't always much of that. 

But, the joy that can only come from a relationship with my Lord, Jesus Christ.

If you do not yet have a relationship like this, with Jesus Christ, please know that you can.  Trust/believe on Him and you will be saved (Acts 16:11). 

Then, He will fill your heart with the joy you desire.


Until next time...
