Jubilee 2009- Singleness and Spirituality

1. Breaksession1 Singleness and Spirituality by Abbie Smith
Currently, single is regraded as "impartiality" in the church.

But church is a body of Christ. (Corinthians 고린도전서 ch12: 12-27), each part of the body is each human being, every part is important and unified to embody, union of the father, life of the body.

Sexuality, literally means "being a man/woman" .There is no need of fear or to defeat sexuality.
Human being has,in nature, a longing or the desire of hug, sleep, eat, thirst and connect(related).
Nothing is wring with singleness.

However, I could not solve my own question. What about the loneliness?
I think "loneliness" is an eternal friend of human being, I mean, "loneliness" is inevitable feeling even though one can marry or have children. I saw many lonely married couples. Human, in nature, feels lonely.... always.
However, how can I embrace the "loneliness" for my life? ( I don't want to say "overcome" , I'd rather say "embrace")
This is the first question I could not solve.

Whenever I feel loneliness, I want to make a phone call to someone and then I open the cell phone and look up my phone lists but I don't have any one to call.
Just a few minute talk ,whatever the topic is, is enough for those times.
But I don't want to express my feeling to friends in order not to infect my negative feeling to them and I can't pray because I think those feelings are too minor to talk to the God.

I may want just a few-minutes talk or just hanging out for a couple of time or just one hug. But nothing is happened always, instead I get to bed and fall to sleep... always.

Humans are lonely. I know,
God is our friend. I know,
But sometimes I miss human's voice or shoulder. Is it bad or is it good?
Still I cannot solve this.

Hi Saeyoung! I write to you in response to this phrase "I can't pray because I think those feelings are too minor to talk to the God."

I think that we can pray to god whenever and about whatever we want.

"And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. (186) " {http://www.quranexplorer.com/quran/ - chapter 2}

let hear from you,
Wassim
