QUESTIONER: There are many people, young and old, who feel alone and are unhappy about it. What do you think lies at the root of loneliness?

SPEAKER: Very often people think of loneliness as simply an estrangement from a friend or from a loved one being separated from them. But it goes much deeper than that.

You see, what appears to be a longing for people who care about us is really a need to understand the love and joy which God supplies to each one of us and which the Bible brings out in such a comforting way. What appears to be a longing for people or a loved one is, in fact, a need to understand the presence of divine Love.
