Isolation tends to cause damage especially when one is dealing with hard times at work, a rocky relationship, or even submerged in a state of depression. So many of us tend to lock ourselves in our home shutting ourselves off to the world. Isolation does not help during those times.
There have been times when I have isolated myself from friends, acquaintances, and even those that have hurt me. I have put up defensive walls in order to protect myself. However, it wasn't the best for me.
Relationships are what we all need. People that can speak hope into our lives. People that can love. People that can listen. People that will believe in us especially when we do not believe in ourselves.
Relationships need to be one of our top priorities in life. We were not made to walk this life alone.
"No matter how much I win, if I win it alone, I lose. Love is the ball game." John Ortberg
