It is God’s love and only God’s love that can conquer the depths of loneliness; and the church is where we ought to be able to find and experience that love. Perhaps we as Christians need to be reminded that whenever we reach out to another in friendship, each time we help another human being, we are not only offering God’s love to that person, we are helping to overcome the loneliness of an aching world.
