Loneliness and Depression

Posted By Royce Gomez on June 21, 2010

What causes loneliness and depression? Many times I think it is caused by not having a “best friend” relationship. When we have someone we can always call and talk to or call on for help, we don’t feel as lonely. Loneliness can then lead to depression because you carry the weight of all your problems alone. It has been said that a wagon with two horses can pull more than the weight of two horses individually. There’s also a story of a boy who asked his mom for a hug late one night. She replied, “Jesus is here with you”. The boy answered, “I know, Mom. Sometimes I just need Jesus with skin on.” Sometimes we just need a hug from someone real and personal. It can erase much of the loneliness. Would you agree? If so, find someone who needs a hug today.
