'Every life needs solitude
Every life needs solitude
"Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest. So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place." Mark 6:31-32
But every life needs solitude at times; we should all get into each of our busy days an hour of silence, when human presences shall be shut away by the veil which shuts us in alone with God.
We need such hours for quiet thought, for communion with Christ, for introspection, for spiritual feeding, for the drawing of blessing and holy influences down from Heaven to replenish the waste produced by earth's toil, struggle, and sorrow.
There is a time for being alone — but we should not seek to live always nor usually in this way.
Life always spent in solitude grows selfish. The weeds of evil desire and unhealthy emotion flourish in solitariness.
