Lonliness in Perfection

Each day we will also take a look at a statement. If you haven't read the devotional for today, please do that first. Then come back here and tell us what you think.

We've looked at a couple of passages now where God says creation is good. In Genesis 2:18-25 we see that Adam was lonely and God didn't want Him to feel that way. His lonliness was even before sin had entered the world. In fact, after creating Eve, God says that a man will leave his mother and father for the purpose of joining with a wife.

Whether in marriage or not, God has wired us to need other people. No one can, nor wants, to survive completely alone. In those moments of lonliness, it should be a reminder that we aren't alone. God is available to have a relationship with us as well.

Lonliness isn't a product of the fall. Lonliness is a reminder to us that there is One who desires a relationship with us.
