If multitudes, who glory in their christian name, were not willingly without God in the world, there would not every where be found such melancholy proofs of aversion to sacred retirement. Every moment of time, and every capacity of nature, would not so studiously be consecrated to the low caresses of fellow worms. Nor would the natural, the unavoidable, and therefore common disappointments resulting from mortal friendship, be received with such horrible surprise or be felt with such exquisite pain; like the man that cried out, -when his idols of silver and gold were stolen from him, They have taken away my gods, and what have Tmore 1M r. Henry observes, where it is said of our Lord, He went up into a mountain apart to pray, They are not Christ sfollowers that do not care for being alone ;that cannot enjoy themselves in solitude, when they have none else to converse with, none else to enjoy but God and their own hearts.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profound experience of solitude and its relationship to faith. Drawing on biblical narratives and the teachings of Jesus, the author delves into the emotional and spiritual challenges of being forsaken by friends, both through their physical absence and the disappointment of their failings. The book's central premise is that true fellowship with God requires a willingness to embrace solitude, a concept deeply rooted in Christian tradition. The author argues that facing the painful reality of human frailty can lead to a deeper understanding of God's grace and a stronger reliance on his presence. The book's insights are particularly relevant to those seeking spiritual guidance in a world often characterized by the demands of social connection and the pursuit of earthly comfort. It offers a compelling argument for the transformative power of solitude, reminding readers that true happiness and fulfillment lie in a deeper relationship with the divine.
