The Madness of Being Lonely

The Madness of Being Lonely

Alone, naturally...
	is not what God intended.

Death is found in loneliness...
	separated from God, he ended.

On the Cross, he hung,
	dying for everyone,
so that the Holy Spirit may dwell within us.

Focus on Jesus, and you will never be alone,
	no matter how far you roam from home.

And if it's a spouse you need,
	simply give heed,
and He may choose to provide one.

But, if it is loneliness and sadness you choose,
	by seeking fleeting happiness ...
or some cheap ruse,
	then entertain yourself with matters of the flesh,
and Satan will be pleased with your madness.
