Godly Grit 13 - Stronghold 1 - Isolation

Isolation is a deep, painful craving for connection. God created us with a longing for belonging.  A yearning that is never fully met. God made humanity for this kind of relationship, to love and to know we are loved. The enemy uses every experience of rejection or isolation to plant the thought that we are not worthy of being loved. We are not worthy of being loved by other humans, and we are not worthy of being loved by God. We feel we must somehow change ourselves to become more lovable. We live with a fear that if identified for who we are, others will reject us. We are afraid of being authentic.
