Lent 2013: Day 32

People disappoint us in a variety of ways. Some will form a friendship with us and then, all of a sudden, and with no explanation, they’re gone. It’s hurtful of course but these things happen in life. Better if they didn’t but … no, let me change that – no, it’s kinda good that it does happen. This kind of experience compels us to strengthen the depth and genuineness of all our other relationships. Some people use us, to others we’re just a temporary need fulfilled and then off they go, it happens.

Hopefully I am a much better friend to others than that. I hope so anyway. Importantly also:

??? What kind of friendship do I have with God who truly loves me ???
