Isolated

Always new, never acknowledged, easily forgotten. Wounded, broken, but never noticed.

Sadly, this is how I have seen and viewed most church Bodies over these many years when there are people who are hurting among them.

People attend church Bodies for many reasons.

Eventually, most people do have traumas in their lives. 

Sometimes other Believers notice, acknowledge, but with no further help, love or encouragements. 

I do not understand unless others are uncomfortable with pain. 

In other rare times someone else notices, acknowledges you, comes into your circle of sorrows, remembers you in prayers and in person. These Saints are a treasure, made of pure gold, close to the Father.

Many times these Saints understand sorrows and agonies. They have lived with pain and know the loneliness of traumas. The uncomfortableness is understood by them and so they can come alongside the wounded.

We were made and designed by God to have fellowship and relationships. Loneliness and isolation is not healthy for us and yet many Saints live their lives alone because no one "sees" them. 

Let each of us begin to "see" and realize who needs a smile, a touch, a hello, a "walk" with someone else.  We can't necessarily fix a person's problems, heal their wounds, bind up their agonies, but we can show compassion and love in ways which can help others continue and even be "better" even in their agonies.

If you are a wounded Child of God and no one seems to "notice" you, you can KNOW the LORD God Almighty notices you and He holds you.

Glory to God!

Psalms 25:16

"...Turn to me and be gracious to me,

For I am lonely and afflicted..."

Psalms 147:3

"...He heals the brokenhearted

And binds up their wounds..."

1 Peter 5:6-11

"...Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen..."

Isaiah 41:10

"...‘Do not fear, for I am with you;

Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,

Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’..."

Deuteronomy 31:6

"...Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.”..."

1 Corinthians 1

"...Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort..."

James 2

"...If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, 

“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted 

by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. 

For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” 

Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment..."
