"i'm not the easiest person to love.
i'm not too proud of some things i've done.
everyone needs a friend to hold
when it's cold outside
all alone i cried.
and there's no place to go.
i remember when you cared."

thank you Lord for friends.
friends who loved.
friends who listened.
friends who cared enough.
friends who provided safety.

teach me dear Lord, to be less focused on myself in my friendships. teach me to give, more than to receive. teach me not to seek to be loved, but instead, to pour out love more and more. because no matter how much love i've given, there's always more to give. more. just a little more.

help me to trust.
