Comment of the Week
March 6, 2011 | By: Cristiane Cardoso | Posted in: Comment of the Week
Rajani has left a new comment on your post “Loneliness can be good“:
I remember when I first read this post. I was at a point where I felt alone; all I wanted was someone to say ‘Are you okay?’ ‘Are you feeling better now?’ or even just ‘How are you?’ But no one did what I expected them to.
I had just come back from hospital when I decided to read your blog and I saw this article, I read it and it actually brought tears to my eyes.
Without making it too long, what had happened was I had had an operation in December 2010, I was upset, I had never had an operation before and it was something which needed 6-8 weeks to heal. I went in to 2011 tired, weak, feeling sluggish – it was horrible.
Like you said its these moments which draw you closer to God – which is what happened, before having the operation when I was being given the anesthetic all I could do was call on God’s name, when I had to spend the night in the hospital by myself after the operation, all I could do was talk to God. Even afterwards I had to keep getting my dressing changed – it hurt so much the first time I cried, my poor mum had too watch me cry; all I could do was call on God.
My wonderful mother helped me so much; even though she was sick herself she helped me so much, she went everywhere with me, because I couldn’t be left alone. Throughout this whole experience I only learned one thing, I expected many people to care for me, or give me attention but no one did, but the entire time God stayed with me and because physically speaking He couldn’t be with me He used my mum, but He never stopped caring about me. Even though many may have forgotten or not realized how I was feeling God cared and always reassured me that He was right beside me.
I really do appreciate you sharing this with us all. I wanted to express what I felt when I first read this post but I decided to wait until I overcame that feeling. I’m also much better today, than I was then

When we are going through problems sometimes we forget that God is carrying us in His arms to help us through. Though there is an natural instinct in us that seeks the sympathy of others around us, this really opened my eyes to realise that when we are facing problems we don't need to forget that God is telling us not to fear and trust in Him.
The most common mistake that people do , they want to be sampathised by other people, and many people forget about God when they really facing hardships,All the problems that we face , they bring u s close to God.
God do not give just what you want the most, but he gives to us what we need the most. He is the most caring and loving Father. When you need him the most he does not keep you waiting but attends you immidiatly. Thanks Mrs Chris for sharing this comment with us.
this testimony makes me strong every time i read it. When you are facing problems, difficulties no one will understand you or will be able to come into your shoes and feel your pain, Its only God HIMSELF. Sometimes you may think that HE is not around you, or does not care or see your suffering. But HIS love and careness is more than we can imagine
Thanks Mrs Cris for posting this comment,it is helpful to me and it is true.People can not always be there for us,only God who can be closer to us weather we are happy or sad.
we can always count on God..
That why the bible says a man is fool when he trust another man..
God is always with us and in the times we feel lost He is even closer with us.
Thanks Mrs Cris for posting this comment because its helpful and true. We expect people to always be therefore for us when we them the most but it never really works in that way. Only God is there with us no matter what. When we are alone is really does bring us closer to God because in that moment we are only looking to or for him so therefore there is no human distraction ort human emotions. To be honest if friends or family were there to show their love and support or how much they care, it truly will not give us that inner strength or growth that we get from God.
Embrace the loneliness because in that moment God wants us to talk Him and never feel like we ever alone because He is with Us.
hi Mrs.Cris
yes in any situation God is always there for us,even though your family or some your friends forgot you,but God didn't forgot and forsaken you.
i experience so many times that even though in my hardly and difficult situation i feel that God is with me 24 hours day by day,because i always call to God and talk to him because we know that only God is the one who helps us. after that my feeling get better and ok.
thank you for this.

I liked this comment of the week because I can relate to the lonely times of my life. When the only One I could depend on was God. He ministered to me through His word of what I needed to hear. When no one was there He was all I really needed. I searched in wrong places to hear from someone until I sought in Him could my soul rejoice at the end. I believe that our Lord wants us to be instruments just as this young lady was to her daughter just to be there by her side speaks louder than words.
I love this comment ..
Its really True that GOD is always there for us.
It seems that His not around but you will notice that in the time that you need Help His always there for us.
God never lived us Alone.
His always there caring , watching and Loving us..
thank you for sharing this Comment ..
God bless

i really liked this comment..very helpful and true of how god is always by our side even if were completely on our own or alone! thanks for this post miss cris.
Only God can console, love and understand us at our worst moments. May God bless you.
This comment is really helpful. There's many times when your going through situations & you expect people to ask you, How are you? Are you ok? But there times when you feel like nobody can see you as if you were invisible. But God always sees us & He never stops caring.
May God bless you x
