I Sleep Alone

Single again after divorce, I sleep alone.

Occassionally, the cat curls up at my feet or a child climbs in beside me in the middle of the night, but my days of nursing babies, fussy toddlers and sharing the bed with my husband have ended. Maybe you sleep on the couch while your spouse sleeps alone in the bedroom. Arguements, laziness, alcoholism, indifference or separation may have you sleeping alone. Call of duty could pull you away from your lover and you face sleepless nights alone and worried.  After 50 years of marriage, or fatal tragedy, your spouse may have gone home to Jesus and you sleep alone. You may have found some comfort on top of the blankets, the other side of the bed, another room, or allow your four legged friend to share your space, but the void remains. We were created for love and companionship, so it's no wonder these temporary "baby blankets" won't satisfy. We were also created to give God glory. So, in the dark of the night use your solitude to talk to your Creator and tell Him the plea of your heart. He longs to hear from you and desires to meet your need. He can make time fly, repair broken marriages, make room in your heart to love again, and defy all odds. It just could be...that while you sleep alone...somewhere out there, or just down the hall, someone meant for you sleeps alone too....just waiting on you!
