S3 E47: The Most Difficult Time in Friendships

Grieving is not a one and done affair. For as long as the human race exists and people relate with one another, there will be moments of grief due to the events associated with loss. Anytime you experience a loss, your heart grieves. Some may be subtle and would not require days, weeks, months, years to walk through. Notice I did not use the words ‘heal from grief’. Grief is a continuous journey of slowly laying down what you once held and exchanging that which no longer holds, for something new and different. The experience of grief brings with it change. Change in the person holding the grief as well as change in the people witnessing the grief.Here are Three Thoughts:Be a praying friend not a preying friend: don’t vanish when the difficult times roll giving the excuse, I don’t know how to handle such situations. That's why you learn and grow… so many ways to do that.
You can be a great friend or a good friend. The former is just as attainable as the latter, both represent a heart of faithfulness and commitment but one says you are extraordinary. Choose to be extraordinary.
Here is God in moments of suffering and pain: right where He has always been and he knows, he sees and he cares. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer.
