L.G. (3)

I've just been with a lady who said " I like Christmas. No one bothers me. I can just read and pray for days."

She has embraced the loneliness, and finds herself close to the Lord. We have to "embrace" it, accept it, see it as necessary and good. All too often we fight it, reject it, see it as a curse.

Intercessors can never afford to think this way. We follow Jesus -  into all places. If we want to find the strength in Gethsemane that he had, we have to embrace the loneliness. Can we?
