Sharing publicly helps me realize that what I have been through just “may” help someone who is also dealing with difficult times and things. No one shared their coping times with me, and because of that, I muddled through on my own, making “mistakes” along the way.
And as an aside, if I could take your pain, I would do so. It is difficult for me to sit here and know you are suffering without being able to help you.
Beloved Sister in Christ,
You are not just sitting there doing nothing... your prayers assault Heaven on our behalf, they don’t bounce off the ceiling. You openly tell your story and that is great encouragement to do likewise. Proximity is great for hugs and cocoa, face time is special, but distance does not hamper the Spirit. From your mouth (keyboard) to God’s ear! He is never late in answering. Love and thanks!!!!!
I think I actually can, maybe just a little bit.
'Cause when I think about the hurtings that you feel, it hurts me too.
