George Bernard ShawDon't think you can frighten me by telling me that I am alone. France is alone. God is alone. And the loneliness of God is His strength.
About This Quote
"Don't think you can frighten me by telling me that I am alone. France is alone. God is alone. And the loneliness of God is His strength." -- Joan of Arc Why does Joan of Arc consider God to be lonely? She doesn't mean God lonelier than anyone else, she means the very fact that He is alone gives Him strength.
When we feel lonely, we can draw strength from God because He knows what it's like to be lonely. It's a good thing to keep in mind if you ever feel lonely or insecure.
