When you are healing after a friendship ends

Psalm 147:3

God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

When you are healing after a friendship ends. There is usually more happening here than the obvious problem. There is a difference between acknowledging reality and surrendering your identity to it. One is wisdom. The other is captivity. Healing does not require pretending it did not hurt. Jesus Christ can meet you in the wound without letting the wound become your identity. Bring the real problem to Jesus Christ, not the polished version. He already knows what is underneath.

What story are you attaching to this situation that Jesus Christ never said about you?

Lord Jesus Christ, I bring You the part I can explain and the part I cannot. Keep me from reacting out of fear, shame, pride, or loneliness. Teach me to move with You. Amen.
