I just spent 30 minutes counseling a friend of mine who is hurting. Again. What is with all this hurting? Why, God, why? I know You're big and You have it all figured out, but I sure don't. So, once again, I will seek Your face and believe You know more than I do. I will submit myself to Your will.
I didn't have answers for this friend. She is in a sticky situation. My opinions on some subjects are strong and unwavering and on some subjects I ride the fence. I made strong statements followed by, "but I will support any decision you make". Why am I trying to fix her? I surely can't fix anyone.
I walked away, more saddened than when we began and all I could think was: I do her a disservice if I don't point her to Jesus. Bottom line. End all, be all. Any other advice she is getting, from anyone else, if it's not pointing her to Jesus is hurting, not helping. And oh, how that is not popular. Being Biblical, and countercultural is not popular.
I may sound like a broken record, but all I could say was: seek Godly council, get back in your Bible, get prayer, ask God... because that's all I know how to do.
If I don't point you to Jesus, I do you a disservice.
