The Give and Take
It's an understatement, to say that people are one helluvaride to get. "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am
There are times when I feel as if people and their feelings collate into one; so strongly you cannot distinguish person from their thoughts. Their personalities fade into their emotions, and you can no longer sense either. Even the relationships that seem immaculate, always are shrouded with unspoken words and thoughts. Forthrightness, pain, disappointment - they all might be lingering beneath our smiling faces and happy laughter, thing that hold us back, hold us back.
I have no definite idea why many times our friendships and relationships hang upon this single thread of 'grey area'. In an absence of an incisive trust, or an incisive love. Yet there's enough to keep us going on with one another, enough for us to be patient with one another, enough love for us to tolerate one another's shortcomings.
Maybe this is what you call 'give-and-take'.
How many times have we kept our comments and opinions about someone to ourselves, things we can resolve but we prefer not to. Waiting for Time to take its 'presumed ' restorative course upon our friendships, hoping one day the silence and tension between two parties will eventually dissipate into forgiveness.
At the end of the day, cold shoulders won't work, ignorance will diminish, and that's when the real issues will begin to resurface and bite us back in the butt. Relationships are the single most confusing things in the world, because if one demands more than another can give, the whole frequency shifts, sometimes in ways we would never expect.
And it's one valuable lesson I've learnt from Him.

I with them."

Whoever you decide to let go on earth, will be the same in heaven. And whoever you choose to forge friendships will, thus will be the same in heaven.
