I felt quite helpless as a friend. I wanted to send a positive and reassuring comment to her post, but I found myself wordless. Really, there's nothing I can say that can really comfort her heart and help her situation. At the end I wrote a short statement telling her that her friends will be with her. But I know it falls short; just what can we do?
Then I remember my friend Ms. Priss' post a few days ago. In her post she quotes Laura Story sharing the mindset with which she wrote the song "Blessings". That blessings sometimes come as disasters in disguise.
Laura says: I spent my whole life singing, ''Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,' but until Jesus took me through something where my only option was to trust Him, I didn't really know that sweetness.
I was so touched those words. It made me appreciate more how sweet it is that we always have a God to rely on. But today, those words ring even truer since there is now a situation that calls for faith in those words. I'm deeply comforted because I know that even though I can only watch my friend from the sidelines, God has her in His hands and in His heart. And that's the best place she can be.
