  • Do you know what it feels like to deliberately do something that will break a friend's heart?

    It feels pretty bad.

    Some of my friends would say I did the right thing... and that it will turn out for the best in the end.  "Tough love."

    Others of my friends would say I did the wrong thing... evincing 'coldheartedness' instead of 'christlike love.'

    My only hope and stay is some verses from the Bible (2 Peter 2:12, 2 Corinthians 8:21 Romans 12:17, Romans 14, Hebrews 13:4), and some counsel from some of my closest friends, and some optimistic hope-for-the-best type stories concocted in my imagination in which this all works out well.  (actually I know that it will all work out "well" from Romans 8:28, but I guess my only question is what "well" will look like.)

  • Ah, yes.  Sometimes what needs to be said or done is difficult...for everyone involved!  We'll be praying for the working out well to be sooner rather than later.
