The choice to isolate is a selfish tendency that is not really what God created us for. It's Monday. The weekend went by all too fast and now I have those, "It's back to the grind Blues." Can you relate? The alarm goes off and you just want to hit the snooze bar (over and over again). You think about calling into work, hoping that your boss didn't see your social media pictures from the weekend that had you hanging out with friends at the beach or park. Honestly, you just want to be left alone. Maybe you are going through a crisis or a state of depression which just screams "everyone leave me alone." We all, at one time or another, experience that desire to be alone--separated from the rest of the world. Most of these situations find us in an unhealthy state of mind--tired, worn out, physically drained, mentally exhausted, and emotionally on edge. We are fragile and vulnerable to making poor choices. Choices like lashing out
Learning to Please God with a life that doesn't always want to do just that.
