Sometimes, the power of true friendship can heal the deepest wounds. Love is the healer of all things. When they see you with and through eyes of love, you can feel it deep within your soul. No other means of communication can do that for you. Love is the bridge between souls. And sometimes those bridges can stretch invisibly across the street or around the world. It matters not the actual distance, unless there is true distress, but even that can be managed today through technologies that were not there even a decade ago, can you imagine the suffering centuries ago when loved ones were so far away? And you could only pray for them to return, for their safety, or for forgiveness.
For those true love friendships that were established when you were young and lasted through the years, then through unfortunate events they are gone the ache is so real and so deep there is only God who can help. Prayers to Adoni, Heavenly Father, Yeshua, the Wonderfull Counselor [and many, many other names] it is through the Holy Spirit that Peace and Comfort can be felt. For the ache only becomes less loud for true understanding comes way, way on down the lonely road of sadness due to separations.
Human emotion is a fragile thing. And we all have held for too long, these fragmented parts within. The deep truth here in this is the healing that can come when we actually bring that pain and sugaring to the altar, as a sacrifice unto the Father who knows all things, who's long suffering for each of us for He know too well in advance the pains we were to bare. By offering with a humbled heart, these pains, it demonstrates that we can not do without Him. The He alone can heal our pains and renew us. To lift our hearts, spirits and hold ourselves upright again. To then "walk in the light" with Him.
Jesus knows us. Speaks to us in the quiet moments. He places other comforting souls along our paths. We then can bear each other's pains, support each other's spirits with kindness, gentleness, and with other means needed to lift them unto another day.
Try to slow your movements, and be still more. To listen to what your heart might be speaking to you. When it softly prompts you to say Hello to someone you may not even know, if you sense an emotional presence that speaks to you. They may not have a friend in all the world who cares enough for them, and you just might become that Good Samaritan in their life that day.
Perhaps you feel the soft prompting to call a relative or sibling you hadn't spoken to because of something that happened between you so long ago you might not remember all the details. Or even if you do, what does it matter anyway? If they happen to die today or tomorrow - you would never have the ability to speak to them and possibly reconcile. It is in Jesus' gospel teachings to to leave your offering at the altar and go to them and reconcile immediately. For if there is an offense between you and your brother than your offering is of no use to the Father. It is unworthy to offer because you are unworthy to offer it. To the Father it doesn't matter so much about the wrong that was done but that it isn't being dealt with and therefore remains an unnecessary bridge of discord between you. Healing can not happen because the faith of being healed while there is hurt and pain toward one another is still very much alive in our hearts.
We must do our best to forgive. Just as Jesus and the Father forgives 10,000 times toward us - we must do the same for others. We must do the same for ourselves. And if that forgiveness can not begin than we must look at WHY we can't. Look at that belief and ask for "eyes to see" as God would see it and then Do The Work to heal that misguided belief -it is the only step needed to break that chain.
Focus on what brings light into your inner world. Pray for light to find the hidden things within and pray for the breath of life to fill you with courage and faith that comes with the mercy and grace that Jesus died for. Show your gratitude as He has taught us, and share your light with those around you. As you do, you will be given more blessings than you can count. Because you are blessing even the least of these... for Him.
Shalom, Shalom my friend.
