Lonely? Overcoming Loneliness - Film + Faithಮಾದರಿ

We are never alone

Jeffrey Manchester's story in Roofmandelves into humanity's need for others. As this escaped convict tries to survive alone in a Toys "R" Us, he quickly shows how he needs and yearns for human connection.

Interestingly, the man who would be nicknamed the Roofman is not the only person who is willing to look beyond flaws and warnings to do all they can to find themselves in a relationship or community.

Isolation can be a physical reality, but for many, it is truly a state of mind.

We can seek solace in personal relationships or through technology, but these things eventually offer only limited satisfaction. This profoundly philosophical question can be answered by saying that God is always with us. The answer for mankind is to merely turn around and acknowledge His presence. During times of joy or loneliness, God is there for us and provides a relationship unlike any other.

Where do you start?

Begin with the first book of the New Testament – Matthew 28:20 (ESV) –"behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age" and then go back to the beginning of the story and introduce yourself to the person of Jesus.

You may realise that you were never really alone and you never need to feel that way again...
