Romans 8:28 is true whether one is the victim, or one is the perpetrator. God uses this to get the dross out, the character flaws revealed and to finish the work He began in us in Christ Jesus. I encourage you to submit to His process, which is often slow, and sometimes incredibly fast. God's process cannot be scripted nor predicted, but it is healing and cleansing. You will be healed of things that you were unaware were holding you back. God is THAT good. Dorwin-

I love that you can see that all involved, with their varying responses, love you. I love love love that. What do we have if we don't have love? What do we have if we don't have grace? How can we invite anyone into the faith if we aren't laying down our lives to be in relationship with others? I admire your willingness to stay in it with those you have hurt and those who have hurt you. You're singing my song, Dorwin. Keep it up. This is great.

It's when you put the "R" of reconciliation back into it that you can be friends again. It's wonderful to know who your through-thick-and-thin friends are and their only motive is that they really, truly care about you, your welfare and your life, and not just how an 'event' impacts them, or their image--speaking strictly from experience on that one. I'm not sure what particular "fall from grace" event you're talking about, but since I've found it hard to be at MaSq for some time now, I'm quite out of the loop on many things. It sounds like a can of worms you'd rather leave untouched, but if you feel like cracking it just a bit, you have my email to vent if you need to. Yes, friends can be fiends.
