This one is for loners.

And this includes me!

I’m an introvert by nature.

I love people… but being with them too long drains me.

And I must regularly take time to go back in my cave and refuel.

But over the years I have learned that living isolated as a loner is not good.

In the worst case it can make you morbidly introspective, severely tempted, paranoid, and full of self-pity.

And even in the best case functioning alone is bad… as it leaves you underdeveloped as a human.

Therefore, if you tend to be a loner like me, do what you can to break out of your solitude ways.

The Bible tells us “iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another” (Pr. 27:17).

This means your interactions with others will develop and strengthen you.

And, these same interactions will serve to build up others.

In other words…

You need other people to become your best.

And other people need you to become their best.

So take initiative to engage others.

God made us social, communal beings…

… and working with the grain of this design helps us all to flourish in His kingdom.
