I don't know what's wrong with me. I just had an epic day, an awesome day, a truly spectacular nice day, but right now I just feel so lonesome. For no real reason at all, really. I just feel utterly alone, rejected, unwanted, isolated. My soul is heavy, weary. I desperately need a hug.Then it strikes me. Tonight we remember Gethsemane.
Mark 14.32-36
When they reached a place called Gethsemane, he said to his disciples, 'Sit here while I pray.' And he took Peter and James and John with him. Horror and dismay came over him, and he said to them, 'My heart is ready to break with grief; stop here, and stay awake.' Then he went forward a little, threw himself on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, this hour might pass him by. 'Abba, Father,' he said, 'all things are possible to thee; take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what thou wilt.'
I don't feel so alone any more.
