FEELING A LITTLE DISCOURAGED
I'M FEELING A LITTLE DISCOURAGED. I KNOW THAT IN LIFE WE HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE ONLY FOR A SEASON, AND THERE ARE THAT FEW WHO IS A FRIEND FOREVER. NOW AT AGE 37 I STILL TEND TO HAVE SO OF THEM WHO COME AND GO. SOME BECAUSE OF LIFE SITUATIONS THAT IS MADE KNOWN, BUT YET MANY WHO JUST FADE AWAY. NEVER EVEN KNOWING WHY. ONE DAY I CAN BE IN CONTACT WITH THEM AND THE NEXT DAY CONTACT IS NO MORE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM THAT IS WHEN I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT THIS FRIENDSHIP HAS FADED AS WELL. IT HURTS BECAUSE THERE IS NEVER ANY REAL CLOSURE. THE SAD PART IS MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WERE SAID TO BE CHRISTIANS. EVEN THOUGH I AM A CHRISTIAN, I KNOW THAT I AM NOT PERFECT, HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE GOD TO SEND ME GODLY FRIENDS WHO ARE SINCERE, AND WHO IS VERY PATIENT WITH. SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP IN AREAS THAT I AM WEAK IN. THE BIBLE SAY WE MUST "BEAR WITH ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE." I DON'T THINK IT'S VERY LOVING AND CHRISTLIKE TO JUST WALK AWAY FROM SOMEONE NOT TRY TO HELP THEM, OR EVEN LEAVE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THEY CHOOSE TO WALK AWAY. FOR THE MANY PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO HAS DONE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REASONS WERE. MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING IN ME, OR IT WAS SOMETHING IN THEM. BUT ONE THING THAT I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT I TRUELY DO LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL MY HEART. SO PRAYER WARRIORS, PRAY FOR ME.
