Going deep inside ourselves, we find out the true difference between loneliness and solitude. Loneliness is characterized by a feeling of lack, like something is missing from us. We struggle with the emptiness that ensues. When we are finished exploring that, meaning, when we are sick of it, we then move on to something more significant by going deeper inward into solitude.

Going from loneliness to solitude takes us from disempowerment into something spiritual. It is deep inside ourselves that we find at our core, that brilliant spark of divinity that animates us. The deepness of our connection blossoms into a restful contentedness over the restless searching of loneliness, from reaching outwards for temporary fixes to looking inwards for everlasting sustenance. Turning inward for our deep spiritual connection, we naturally cease to cling to fear, and are never lonely again.

This extends into a self-nurturance of our bodies being the temple they were always meant to be. We begin to consider our bodies as being a partner on our journey. Deep inside is a doorway to the Universe. The love and care of God, the Angels and the Universe is there for us. The most powerful loving healings emanate from delving deep within.

We cannot be afraid to face all the things that linger inside. We must sweep out all the dust and crumbs of larger fears to which we clung. We may be still clinging to them for no better reason than they were familiar to us. Like an old friend. But, when we turn inward we find an older companion that is older than anything we’ve known. The divine part of us that has always existed and remains eternal. When we strike that connection we are never lonely. We then have control of our life and steer as we choose. We can be released from the grips of survival into thriving, forming a sense of trust with the outer world because our awareness directs our life. Living from our divine connection deep within becomes our strong foundation. Once we’ve decided we don’t want to experience the sadness of loneliness anymore, solitude is an enrichment that entices us to move forward through life in more fulfilling ways.

Shine Into Darkness Prayer

Father,

We are grateful for this day to make a difference in our world.

To be the love that we are and to have an effect on our reality as we work together, hand in hand.

In Matthew we are told to let our light shine before others, so that they may see our good works.

Father we know that we are more powerful together and that when we join our voices,

and the work of our hands,

the Light inside us expands and shines into the darkness,

which cannot overcome it.

Father, we are grateful for this day to be your love, in action.

Let it be so.
So be it. Amen
