That doesn't always mean that the other person is available to heal with us, but God never makes our growth contingent on another person.

Oh I feel this with you. It ...Dear Snow Cone Girl,<br />Oh I feel this with you. It is so hard when we open and let someone in and they are supposed to be someone who cares (a fellow Christian) and shares our burdens and there is a wall. When they won't heal with us or even tell us what is wrong, there is such pain. I have found some of the pain is me reliving my past hurts -- that's what my experience has been -- and then some is the deep pain of having trusted and let down. I will pray for you. I don't know if you read my post on Forgiveness. I am in the process of reading on forgiveness now so I can write a few more posts to follow up on that topic. Check back here, or subscribe by email to make sure you get those if you want. Besides that, though, know that I truly feel this pain with you. It is sometimes so great to bear. I know the pain of it waxes and wanes. From my perspective you ought to give this space. As my husband says, "Go where the love is." There is always love in our lives. When it isn't coming from the ones we long to have give it, we need to look around for those who do love us. And, we need to remember -- I need to remember this too -- that Jesus was rejected by those who should have loved Him best, so we have His sympathy and concern and comfort in these times.

Over the last few w...ok...so this sounds like me. Over the last few weeks I have grieved the lost of a great friend. Oh, she did not die physically, but she is emotionally and realtionally on the other side of a tall wall she has built. I had to have a major operation in a hurry due to a health issue, but she seemed to be comcerned. We have been of one heart for a long time. But since the surgery, she has been very distant. Even when I call or try to talk with her she gives me a straight canned answer and cuts the conversation short quickly. Prayers and tears, and over and over. I want it to heal, but I am wondering if God is saying it is best to let it go and leave her alone. She is also a Christian and we have had many talks and shared many burdens. I made the mistake after not hearing from her for almost 3 weeks, of calling her. She said she had been very busy with family stuff, but that it was all good. There were no problems. Something is wrong. I sent her a text after a tearful phone call where I told her that I thought she was pushing me away. She has not responded. Is is time to just be silent. That is what I have been doing, and she is getting farther and farther away. Please pray at least that we can talk in person and still be friends, even if it is only once in a while. I need closure. I need to know what I should do. I am praying that God will show me what to do that is best for her. My cross today is heavy. snow cone girlnoreply@blogger.com
