Like precious oil poured on the head

Today was wonderful :) A beautiful service on what does freedom mean, wonderful discussions, badminton and then a relaxing dinner with friends. Mmmm, what more could I want out of life? :)

Lately, I've been thinking about the topic of `loneliness'. In a small group a couple weeks ago on `fear and hope', I realized that most of my major fears relate to this in some way or another. What does the bible say about loneliness? About living amidst a community? Or on living abundantly despite not having a community? What does the bible say about who He is, what our relationship is with Him?

Here are two passages that resonate with me now :)
I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."
- Psalm 16:2
How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in unity!
It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron's beard,
down upon the collar of his robes.
It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.
- Psalm 133
