The tools that God uses to shape us into the man or woman He has called us to be are often the very things that make us the most uncomfortable. One of those tools is loneliness. While we were not created to be alone in perpetuity, God allows us to go through seasons of solitude so that we might experience aspects of his nature that we would not otherwise experience. When we embrace these moments of discomfort, things that were once the source of our deepest insecurities become part of the sure foundation that God establishes us on.

2 Timothy 4
