For many of us it started during the Pandemic…self induced isolation that often led to loneliness. But as things changed for the better, we were able to come out of our self-imposed fortresses and engage with the world again. That is except if you were caring for a loved one at home. I found this out this past September when I became the sole caregiver of a spouse that could not be left alone. Yes, there were many agencies that offered supplemental care, and I took advantage of all that was available…but I was and still am the main caregiver. That’s when I had to take a hard look at my isolation and ask the Lord to reveal His perspective concerning it. We are called unto intimacy with the Gospel, and because of that, a deep abiding fellowship with the Lord. Thus, we’re to draw near to the intimacy & love of Jesus…realizing then that we may be isolated, but we don’t have to be lonely…we may be separated, but we’re not forgotten by Him.
