"I can trust God to work toward my good. When I'm getting a lukewarm response from someone after extending the hand of friendship, I've found freedom in saying to myself, "Ya know, Kristen, she's just not able to reciprocate now. Maybe she won't be ever. Either way, you're gonna be fine." And then I decide to take the pressure off myself (and her!) and just let her be.
With a willingness to keep my heart open to people, time and experience have taught me that while I can't do the work of two people in a friendship, I can trust God to work toward my good in leading me to those who'll welcome my efforts and reciprocate with their own."
