Actually I don't know how can anyone say that what she is going through has nothing to do with brokenness and feeling alone. I don't think that it is a good idea to say things like these. You haven't experienced what she experienced, and neither have I. We shouldn't pretend like we know exactly what she is going through.
We tend to say things like you have the power to do anything so just decide and stop being sad, and stop feeling lonely, but I'm not really sure that it works like this.
Don't take me wrong I don't want to pretend that I know things better than you guys, but if I just try my best to imagine myself into the same situation I would also feel broken and lonely, and being strong
alone, with broken relationships all around me wouldn't be so easy if it was possible at all. We don't have the power to do anything we want. We are not omnipotent, who just decide not to feel lonely and suddenly out of nowhere we feel absolute constant - even though we are alone in reality and we have no friends. Things don't work this way.
We are fragile human beings with many wounds. We are broken and in lack of strength. And we need company. Friends who understand us, who appreciate the time spent together, who loves us. That's what the human heart is longing for.
I don't know if it helps but I'm really sorry that you didn't find any accepting group of friends around you, and I'm really sorry about your parents too. Really. I guess you find life hard sometimes. It is made hard by sin, by relational breakdown.
But what you are longing for is not so far away from you, moreover it is very near. If you find out that you are in lack of strength, and you feel broken and lonely, and you need a good, faithful, loving, kind, patient, humle, brave, funny friend, who knows who you are, knows everything about you and still loves you with all of his heart then may I say that I know somebody who just transcends all of that, who is way better than what I have just described. You need Jesus. He is friend to the lonely. His life was a life of love. All His pleasure was to lift every weary up. He is the Friend of friends. Who you really need is Him.
In his arms you can be who you are. Broken, fragile, powerless. You can depend on Him absolutely because when you don't have the strength, He has it for you. He is your strength - and His strength is infinite. Just as His love for you is infinite. He really really desires to wash away every tears from your cheek and to heal your heart and to fill it with joy and laughter, peace and pleasure.
So take heart!
Not because you are a hero almighty
by yourself or alone. But because
you have Somebody who loved you when the thought that you need somebody didn't even come across. He really loves you and He is close to you. The distance is only an honest "Hey God, I'm really broken and in need of you" short. He sees you, He is with you. He cries with you. The pain that stabs your heart stabs His heart too. He longs to have a private friendship with you that will fill your heart absolutely and you have the privilege of being in the inmediete presence of this Friend of sinners and be in an awesome unity with Him. I hope you can take heart from this. He will fight for you no matter what! I also hope that you may find other friends who accept you as you are. Don't give up!
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18
