Losing Connection?

Our Thoughts:

Life is about 'making connections'. We connect [ establish a relationship or rapport with ] with people. We connect [hit or play successfully] with sports. We connect [make our schedules successfully] between transportations, such as planes, trains, or buses.

When we begin to lose our connections, is when our life takes on a new status. Our daily routines are messed up, when our schedules can't connect. When we begin to lose the friendships that we've had over the years, we begin to wonder what we've done to cause this. Is it something I've said, or perhaps it's the other person pulling away. Either way, we begin to worry. Worry brings doubt about ourselves. Of course the enemy is right there to agitate you more!

No matter how much we try, we can't clear this up by ourselves. Sometimes, in trying to do so, we just make matters worse. A friend has been wondering why certain long-time friends have gradually grown away from us. Her husband says that 'friendships are for a time'. Actually, I want to think nothing is wrong, and that the friends just have to have time for themselves right now. And, when their 'crisis' is over, they will be right back in the swing of things - just as sharing and caring as always. But, then, there's the enemy, trying to make us wallow in self-pity! Don't do it! There is one who can relieve you of all the pain you feel from the lost connections! He is Jesus Christ. He said, if you have a burden, bring it to Him. There is no need to get on a pity party, or deny yourself the luxury of having contact with people. He is able to give you peace over all these situations, no matter how hard it has hit you, or how bad you think the situation to be. Life isn't a bed of 'no-thorn roses'.......the thorns are there. We just have to know how to get around the thorns and live our life in peace and harmony. JESUS is the answer; call on Him today!
