Loving When it’s Hard, with Friends
One of the challenges in friendship is the choice about whether to cultivate a relationship or cut it loose. But the way we treat others is a not-so-silent witness to others as to what Jesus is like. Jesus had some pretty unreliable friends who let him down, but even those who did, he did not abandon. He continued to love them. He had every reason to walk away, but he didn’t.
I hate conflict and will squirm to avoid it, preferring to just shrug off my hurts. One day, a friend of mine inadvertently hurt me. It wasn’t intentional, but I was deeply hurt. Grrr… I bravely let them know. And you know what? We reconciled, and our friendship is stronger than ever. We keep no record of wrongs.
Question
What do you do when you are hurt by a friend?
Prayer
LORD, you know what it’s like to have to love friends when it’s hard. Give me your love for my friends.
