Lonliness

Episode 259

Angus Buchan

Angus encourages us to spend time with the Lord when we feel lonely. He understands how we feel and He is the friend who sticks closer than a brother!

Proverbs 18:24
"A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."

Isaiah 40:31
"But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint."

Matthew 14:23
"And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there."

Comfort His people

Isaiah 40:1

Isaiah 40:1. Jesus wants us to comfort those who are hurting. To comfort people we can't just quote scriptures to them and preach to them, we need to give them time, spend time with them because their hearts are broken. They are morning a lost one. Love them and weep with them.

Forgive

If Jesus Christ Who died on the cross for us says that we must forgive, then surely we must forgive others. We must not have anything in our hearts that will block our relationship with God. We need to exercise grace, undeserved favour, as God has done with us. 

Born again

John 3:3–4, John 3:7

John 3:3-4, 7. Unless a person is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. This means that our lives need to change based on a decision we make to believe in and follow Jesus. It is a 180 degree turn in the opposite direction from where we were going. There needs to be change.
