Well, My friends it has been far too long. My apologies. Unfortunately a lot of things have been happening of late. And unfortunately I made the choice to terminate what I thought was a very good friendship.
I know it sounds like I’m regretting it, but realistically I can tell you that it was unhealthy. It was wrong, and I was falling into some big-time no-no habits that I would never have done in the past. Or never acted upon, I guess I should say. Still didn’t make it any easier saying goodbye. Especially when your friend replies with a heart-felt you’ve-got-me-all-wrong letter. I’m thinking maybe that’s what we call manipulation.
Well, other than that I seem to be doing pretty good, except I have not had the pleasure of seeing a very precious friend in a very long time. I don’t even know him that well, but he really is so important to me. I don’t think he’ll realize. (I’m sure I’ve told you that before.)
At any rate, I miss him. He’s kind, genuine, and he seems to be the only friend that I actually “God-talk” with anymore.
He was the one who brought me to understanding about my life. He truly rocked my world. He shook me to the core. He’s not my other friend, who found the weakness in my armour and then forced himself in; this guy is different. He sees my weakness, avoids provoking it and focusses on True Healer of all Hurts: God.
Well, I hope to see him soon. I hope that things get easier for us all in the near future, but I don’t really see it happening. Just hold on to God and His promise of shalom for His children.
Dear Lord, I ask that You would encourage all who belong to You today. Give them the necessary strength in everything that they do. May we all glorify You unto eternity.
amen.
signing out.
