Minister of Loneliness

Bible:Hebrews 13:1-8

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters (V.1).

More than nine million British people (15% of the UK population) say they often or always feel lonely. Now we even have a minister for loneliness in the Government to find out why so many of us feel lonely—and work out what can be done to help. We can feel lonely for loads of reasons. We struggle to be open with people because we’ve been hurt in the past. We feel awkward talking face to face, so we stick to just messaging online. Maybe bullies have cut us off at school. Maybe we just don’t know where to start when it comes to making friends. I feel lonely sometimes, and you may too. This is one reason we need other Christians. The book of Hebrews encourages us to meet together regularly (HEBREWS 10:25). We belong to the family of God, so we’re to love “one another as brothers and sisters” and “show hospitality to strangers” (13:1-2). Jesus has promised to never leave nor forsake us (V.5), and we can use His friendship to fuel our love for others. Are you lonely? What ways can you find to look out for the people in your church and youth group—not just when you meet, but during the week as well? The friends you make in Jesus last forever, through this life and beyond.

THE FAMILY OF GOD IS A GREAT ANSWER
TO OUR LONELINESS.
