Lesson 35: Let Them Be There For You

As you knew, my aforementioned walls have made it tough for me to not only trust people, but also allow them to be there for me. I often think that if I tell people my struggles, I’ll burden them. But you always reminded me that wasn’t the case.

            Anytime that my pessimism got the best of me, you would tell me that I should let people be there for me. My friends wanted to be there for me just like I wanted to be there for them, no matter how hard that is for me to believe. I’m afraid of people deciding my problems are too much for them. Yet, somehow you’d always be positive.

“Perfect love casts out all fear.”

1 John 4:18

            So as hard as it is, I’m trying to let my friends be there for me right now. Because I need them now more than ever.
