Our language has wisely sensed
the two sides of being alone.
It has created the word
"loneliness"
to express the pain of being alone.
And it has created the word
"solitude"
to express the glory of being alone.

Jesus felt both. Jesus embraced both. He did not run from either the pain or the glory. It was the Father's will just as it is the Father's will for us.
See Hebrew 2:10; Romans 8:17
