just some of what's on my heart

i was watchin benjamin button the other day with some friends and that movie alone has a ton of life lessons in it. there was actually one line that stood out to me where somebody said,
"oh honey, if you don't lose something, you'll never know how important it was."
i agree with that wholeheartedly. i also believe that whole phrase "ya don't know what you've got itl it's gone"
however in addition to that i believe God has a much bigger plan for us beyond these things that we lose and gain. the only thing i know that is consistent in this life is God. yes, i strive for consistency in my friendships and relationships, but those come and go no matter how much i try to hold on.
and in that consistent love he has for me, i also try to be consistent in my love for others. i try to be the guy they can come to. last night at church we were having a really intense moment and i came up to a friend of mine who was by herself and just hugged her nd listened to what she had to say and i gave my input and we talked about our problems and basically came to see how much greater God is than what we deal with on this earth.
not two minutes later i saw another girl, a friend of mine, standing by herself. i came to her and all she needed was a shoulder to cry on. But the sad thing was NO ONE WAS THERE.
that being the case, and because it was recently assigned to me, i feel like my job as of now is to be there for people. even in MY time of need to give of myself. that's all i know how to do.
honestly in giving in my time of need, it's starting to help me feel whole again.

so i challenge you all: watch how you treat people. i'm doing the same. we can't just be apathetic on people's feelings because they annoy us or because you don't like this person or that person. i've been on the other end of that spectrum and i'll tell ya right now, it hurts when people basically treat you like they don't care about your feelings.
everyone has their own problems and we have to be there to hear them out. an insignificant problem to you may mean the world to them.
just try and be there and care for the people you consider to be your friends.
even people you don't consider friends. be open to His will.
