One of my good friends said something tonight and when she said it, it really struck me and I have been thinking about it since she said it. She said, “Distance doesn’t fix distance, if a situation is awkward, uncomfortable, or just plain hard we step back from it in hopes that by distancing ourselves from the situation that over time it will blow over and no longer be awkward, uncomfortable, or hard.” These words have stuck with me for a couple of reasons. Reason one is this is how I treat a lot of my relationships with my friends. Well not really a lot just one in particular. I think the issue behind me treating this friendship in this way is that it gets really hard at times, so I try to take the cowards way out instead of fighting for something that is extremely important to me. Just when I start to relax in this friendship Satan tries to bring up all of these old insecurities that I have moved past with the help of this friend. No more! In my last post I talked about how I was declaring war on Satan well the first battle of that war is here and it is this! I am gonna stand and fight for this friendship because if something is worth having, then it is worth fighting for and this friendship is definitely worth having. The second reason these words stuck with me is really the underlying cause of the first and that is, I treat God like this! When I pray or worship and don’t immediately feel him I take that to mean something significant and distance myself from him. When I really sit down and think about it, it is in these moments that I have the most trouble with being secure in this friendship I have built. So I am going to take the words of my sweet friend and carry them with me always! “Distance doesn’t fix distance!”
