Today I was so blessed to spend the morning with my friend Heidi and her children. It had been a long while since we had seen eachother. A while back, I had hurt her unintentionally, and it hurt my heart. I prayed to God for her and our friendship. The Lord is so faithful..she has been reaching back out to me. I hope she will keep her heart open wide so that we can enjoy all God has planned for our friendship.
I know how hard it can be when a friend wounds you. Your flesh just wants to shut the other person out and not allow them to come back in and possibly hurt you again. God doesn't want us to hunker down though and protect ourselves- He is our Protector and He wants us to trust Him with the situation. He loves us and has a plan to prosper us and not to harm us. He wants us to turn to Him with all our hurts and mend us so His love can continue to flow through us.
In 2 Chronicles Chapter 30 it describes a time when the Israelites were turning their hearts back to the Lord under King Hezekiah. In verse 27 it says, "Then the priests and Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard and their prayer came up to [God's] holy habitation in heaven." I'm here to tell you that God still hears our prayers today! He is in the business of healing relationships that are broken. He softens hearts. Thank you Father.
