Lonely

Lonely, empty, void and feeling blue, Like I just don't know what to do. I have a large family, I've got many friends, Yet it seems just like I am at wits end. I am seeking and searching for true happiness, That joy on the inside that makes you feel blessed. I have tried drugs, I've tried alcohol, Even tried sex....just don't want to recall. These things did not work, they could not fill the void. I continued to feel empty, lonely, sad and annoyed. I even went on a shopping spree, There seemed to be nothing to satisfy me. Then someone asked me if I had tried Jesus, They told me He died, rose and that freed us. I said that I never knew that there was such a Man, Please explain a little more that I might understand. They told me He loved and cared for me, And in all of my troubles, there He would be. He would never leave me or bring me to shame, All I had to do was believe in His name. This included trusting Him and obeying what He said, Following His example and letting Him be the head. I listened intensely it sounded simple and plain, To follow this Man and believe in His name. Then I tried Jesus, now I am able to see; Gone are the feelings of emptiness and lonely. I feel happy and bless as I rest in His name. And those things that I did...I am not ashamed.
