Honestly, I don't even know how to put a title to this post. I am lost in my words yet found in my heart. For the past week, my heart has been heavy. I can tell you I wasn't me and I wasn't doing a good job of being a friend or a servant of Christ. I had a lot going on in my personal life (still do...) but there was one thing that was weighing my heart down above all else and that was a friend.
A friend loves at all times.
Proverbs 17:17
I love this verse SO much. Words can not even describe how I feel when I read this verse. Every time I read it I am reminded of my bestest friends and what a relationship with your friends should be like, loving. Within the past week, I haven't felt loved. When I don't "feel" loved, I don't do a good job of loving that person back. Here comes sass mode. Instead of loving, I get sassy because I am frustrated.
Sometimes talking with the person you are having problems with is the best thing for you, your friend, your friendship, and your heart. I can tell you that after this hard conversation both of our hearts had been lifted. Seriously, I had felt like I had a huge pile of laundry that was never ending sitting on top of me and thirty minutes later it was all clean, folded, and put away (if only that could happen in thirty minutes, I would be a happier camper!!).
God has blessed me with many people in my life. I am lucky. I am blessed.
Sometimes we just have to forgive and love...it is what is best for our heart and it makes Jesus happy. :)
