Caring about people is one of my strengths but yet it is seen as one of my weaknesses. Is there a point where one is suppose to give up on someone because they may have issues? I was told this past weekend that some people are worried about me because I care about those who need to be cared for. Honestly, I do not think that giving up on them is the right way to go about it. Jesus did not give up on the diseased, the criminal minds, or the promiscuous. He was actually seen more with them then he was with the people that had it all together. It raised questions but Jesus knew that these people needed him the most.
So I have decided that I am not going to give up, especially on my friend. God has placed him in my life and on my heart to make a difference in his life. To help raise him up from the pit he has let himself fall into. It may not be by doing something in the physical world, but being a warrior for him in the spiritual world may be my occupation. I will not give up until God tells me to. He has a plan and I will wait it out till that plan is revealed, even if hanging on means seeing him being dragged through the dirt. As much as it breaks my heart... I will press on.
