solitude

“Loneliness is the poverty of self, solitude is the richness of self. “

Luci Shaw, Breathe for the Bones

Many times people confuse solitude with loneliness. They do not like being alone or feeling alone. But solitude is not being alone. Solitude is being present to the Creator God. It is being more alive and more present than you ever thought possible. It is feeling fullness in the absence of all things.,…except God. What more could you desire?

Consider spending some time today in solitude, being completely open and present to God. Doing this on a consistent basis will change the way you see yourself, see the world and see God.

Grace and peace,
