This Christ who makes this union perfect is not outside of the believer but in him. This is the destiny of all human beings, and this is why God allows loneliness. Solitude So often in our day, religious people, attempting to assist men psychologically in their problems of life, speak of how loneliness needs to be abated, how we need to do certain things to be free of our loneliness. It has been my experience in many years of serving God that the servants most greatly used of God go through very lonely periods. Only in extreme loneliness do men find the extreme will of God.
Solitude expresses the glory of being alone.
So often we think of loneliness strictly in the light of separation from something we need, when actually it is God-given solitude that is necessary to bring us into His rest. That rest is found in solitude. One reason we dislike loneliness is because it is often accompanied by affliction. The psalmist felt the pain of loneliness. We have all felt it.
