To feel:
unloved
abandoned
alone
This has never been my experience. I can't relate to these three words . . . yet . . . deep down, way down in my soul there is a fear - primal, raw - of this very thing. I believe each heart carries this fear -guarded, covered, hidden - quietly touching each relationship, effecting every action and reaction.
Is this a warning of Hell?
To be separated eternally from God, who is love,
Totally alone in misery and torment of that separation,
surrounded forever by intense hate and indescribable evil?
Is this a reminder from God of what we are without Him because of sin?
The solution?
"Perfect love casts out fear!" 1 John 4:18
"We love him because He first loved us" 1 John 4:19
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it but to save it"
John 3: 16-17
Christ died for ALL, God's unfailing, eternal, unconditional love is for All. May we live the answer to this primal fear each and every day of our lives!
