An Epiphany Moment

Epiphany is defined by Answers.com as "A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something. It is a "Christian festival celebrated on January 6 and "one of the oldest Christian holy days."

I had a dream last night of the song, "Rainy Night in Georgia," and I could hear Ray Charles singing it. That is such a pretty song. There is one line in the song that says it all, "Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?" How can anyone listen to that song and not be moved. There is a lot of lonely people in the world. I know what loneliness feels like. I think for most of my life, I was lonely, and then one day, the Lord changed all that. I know that he walks beside me, and holds my hand, and I never have to feel lonely anymore, because he is always there. I hope that this thought helps someone today. You know what is really lonely? is to believe in God in your head, but not to have him in your heart. Won't you ask him into your heart today? He will come in, and heal that lonely place, and he will hold your hand, and you will never be lonely again.
