When we feel lonely, it's easy to think that filling our time and space with things will help us out. Some have called it retail therapy or simply distracting yourself, so you don't feel so alone anymore. Jesus lived a life not full of possessions but full of promise — even when all hope seemed lost, Jesus was still fulfilling God's promises.

The journey to the cross is an incredible story. As Jesus is nailed to the cross, he yells at the top of his lungs, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" He felt completely alone, without hope. Have you ever felt alone? The most profound thing about this particular story is that because Jesus took our place on the cross, we never have to feel alone to this extent. God promises that we'll never be left alone. Jesus is always with us.
