God doesn’t intend us only to find freedom from loneliness but to find formation in our loneliness.

My 20s were probably the hardest years of my life because of one word: loneliness.
It’s not that I was completely alone. I had friends. I had roommates. I’d go on the occasional date. I saw my family on holidays. I called and texted people regularly. But all those relationships didn’t feel like enough when I was at home alone on Friday night.
