quote for today

Lonely? by Anna Mow; from "Two or Ninety-Two" Being alone does not necessarily mean loneliness. Your condition depends more on how you get along with yourself than on how little you possess. If you have a great emptiness in your life, you are not only alone but lonely. If your security has depended on others, or on their dependence on you, then when left alone, you are lonely. Poverty of mind and soul is poverty indeed and loneliness indeed. If you feel unwanted, unneeded, laid on the shelf, no good to anyone, unappreciated--watch out! All these feelings of being neglected are evidence of thinking from self-centeredness, and they are all dangerous. Stop clinging to the wrong self and open your life to the true self, which is possible through Christ.
