There's a song that says everyone has to walk that lonesome valley, they have to walk it by themselves.  It's easy to disagree with that but there is truth in it.  No one can possibly share the leadings they get; no one can logically explain why they are following this path rather than that one.  Our friends, loved ones and brothers and sisters in the Lord can support our attempts to follow God's path for our lives by affirming us, by holding us in the light and sometimes by providing financial support, but they can't actually share or experience our emotions of belief, doubt, conviction, joy or regret.

So when we decide to become more like Jesus we shouldn't complain that no one understands us.  No man is greater than his Master and Jesus had to walk his own lonesome valley by himself and so must we.  There's a certain amount of loneliness in following the path of Agape Love that is Jesus but it's a sweet loneliness that brings a peace that surpasses understanding;  for that path of Agape Love is The Way to the Father's House where there are many rooms, one of which has been prepared for that lonesome traveler.
