Yesterday I learned that you should not give up on people. I've had a trouble-some situation that I just haven't been able to really understand. And yesterday God showed me about not giving up and about not forgetting about people.
I don't really want to mention the whole story...
but I got a phone call for a loved one that came out of the blue. I had known this person had just left to go back to a certain thing, and was thinking all Thanskgiving how rude and how disappointing I was in the fact I wasn't able to communicate well with this person. And low and behold, here I get a phone call from this person, the least thing I expected from this person. It was a pleasent surprise and we had a great phone converations for 45 min. After I got off the phone I had realized that I was stubborn and that i had just and an amazing converstation with someone that I loved and care for, so why would I EVER think to give up on this person? Why would I be like "fine, you obviously don't want to see me, so I'll just not talk to you either."
That is the wrong attitude to have (obviously)! I was ready to give up on this person. I should never do this, because ultimately, this person probably still loves and cares for me as well, but we just go through things in our lives that make us not want to discuss things with certain people or something like that. I've learned to be more understanding and to just LOVE on people. That is ultimately what this person wanted, I do believe, and I think everyone would.
Even if you think someone isn't loveable or wanting to be loved, they might just call you and throw you for a loop!
And at the end of the converstation, and you say, "I love you _____________" and to hear "I love you too Kelly, keep praying for me!"
Is probably the best thing I could ask for! To know that someone wants me to pray for them and they do love me and care, makes me just know that what I am here on earth for is a vaulable mission! God didn't want me to give up on this dear, and I won't! I've learned that it won't be easy, but that doesn't mean we should give up! God wouldn't give up on us, so why should I give up on others?!
Thank you Jesus so much for the love and understanding you showed me. Thank you for the wonderful phone call I recieved and how you showed me that I am not to give up! I pray for this dear friend of mine, that where this person is going that you show this person LOVE and CARE and YOU!!! May this perosn come across people that will also show this person YOU! May we be able to continue this friendship we've had and may we be able to restore this bond we've always had. Thank you again Jesus, for the love you showed me and may I be able to show this person the same love!
