When You Feel Unloved, Overlooked, and Isolated

Sometimes it is easy to feel unloved when life is normal; but during a worldwide pandemic with large gatherings and southern hugs now a thing of the past, one’s thoughts can play tricks. Be warned, my friends. It is easy to become self-absorbed when you are only seeing self. It is common to hear Satan’s lies. Therefore, it is important to focus on God’s truth especially when in isolation.
