Giving a good word
July 25, 2019
I spoke to a friend in a moment of deep discouragement. I had invested in an important relationship, and the relationship blew up. I messed up. That person messed up. I thought years of relationship, love, and trust building was destroyed.
My friend reassured me. She knows me well and my investment and love for that person. She reminded me of what I had done right, the big picture. Proverbs 12:25 “Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.”
She was my ‘kind word of the day’ . She proved to be wise and right. The next day, forgiveness was asked and given by both of us. Explanations of where we were coming from, misunderstandings. And a plan to move forward. Thank you dear friend for lifting my heavy heart.
