Searching for Love in the Garden of Eden: Spirituality for the Lonely of Heart (A Lay Cistercian Lectio Divina Series)

By Michael F. Conrad

This booklet is for you, if you think you are the only one who is lonely. In fact, you if you think you are totally alone, even in the middle of four billion people, you are. When you think about it, you are the only "You" in the entire universe. You can be lonely, and be married with five children. You are certainly NOT alone, but you may be lonely. Our nature is to be a social animal. What happens when you find yourself on that great iceberg of life, alone and adrift with people all around you? If I am so social, why these feelings that I am lonely? Is there something I am missing? Mastering loneliness is recognizing your own feelings. Only when you get rid of the baggage of this life, can you begin to look at new opportunities for the next. This book is not about how to be popular, how to find Mr. or Ms. Right. It is not about singles, marrieds, hetero or homo orientations. It is about you. It is about how you can be at peace with yourself and find happiness with God. Humans search for love all the time. We don't want to be alone, yet we continue to search for love in unauthentic places. We think we can find love being with others, so we go to a sports bar. Isn't that where exciting people are? We begin to realize that being among people may not get us what we want. What we want is companionship. What we need is love.Many of us search for love in the Garden of Eden, that utopia of fantasy and illusion, where all dreams should come true, but usually don't. We need to center ourselves on true love, and the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven. That longing inside you is your quest to achieve your rightful destiny--the Kingdom of Heaven. You can only do that if you know HOW, and begin NOW.
