This is my understanding in with my walk with God. Sometimes when you
walk close with God, like Jesus walked close with God, there are no
human beings who reach your level. Read Watchman Nee's book, 'The Normal
Christian Life', and you will find that the rest of the Christians are
abnormal.
Most Christians are so earth-bound, and I find it
sometimes a chore to fellowship with them. But you have to, because you
have got to help them, you have got to come down to their level. They
are so earth-bound they talk about carnal things, worldly things. Not
that we are not responsible in that area; we have got to plan, to carry
out our earthly responsibilities, but I find the majority of Christians
are earth-bound. Very few live in the heavenly realm. Sometimes, when
you walk very close with God and you look around, there is no one at
your level, and it is lonely; no one understands some of those things of
the spirit. It is not lonely in the sense you do not have God. You have
God but every human being likes fellowship, we like people, but it gets
lonely. Think about Jesus. Thirty-three years of His life, He lived
with people who could not understand Him. He walked in a realm where
nobody understood Him.

I would say God makes you lonely so you can be freed from mans opinions. Your such a slaves to man's opinions that he allow men to misunderstand you. John 8. They called him names, bads one. Even a child who came out of warlock. Bottom line is, Jesus was tempted in all areas and he learned obedience in his suffering. He will not make you go down a road he has not been down. It's about Jesus not about us. We have to die and when we die, we don't notice how lonely we are. We will be dead.

DeleteIt depends on how you take it, Jesus is a remarkable, he still has joy. I know you may feel lonely because nobody seems to bother you, and when you need help, sometimes the person you call up cannot give answer to you. But the person who walks in the Spirit is different because he sees things differently and acts differently. But I find that it is important to fit with others, you know, even when they seem to be like this all the time. The Lord will lift you up. In Heaven, you would still need to live with them, it is also a process of humbling, rather than a chore. Spend your time with the Lord, when you need help, he would lead you up. Learn to mix with them. Enjoy your journey, don't look it so bad, the hardest time to you is normal in the eye of God and he has not abandoned you. Yeah, and they did not understand at first until the Lord enabled them.
