Umewahi kuwapenda marafiki walio katika mahusiano kiasi ambacho ukisikia wametofautiana inakuuma sana? Ukafanya kila lililo ndani ya uwezo wako ikiwa ni pamoja na kuwaombea ili Mungu awapatanishe tena? Pengine upendo wa namna hii kwa marafiki siku hizi umepoa sana, na ni vigumu kuupata. Wengi wa marafiki na ndugu wamekua vichocheo vya kuharibu mahusiano kuliko kuwa wapatanishi. While looking for a very old letter, I stumbled upon this love-letter, I wrote to some friends I was counseling about seven years ago. I read it and found it to be applicable in many lives today. I decided to share it with you in hopes it will help heal someone’s relationship/marriage today. The couple I wrote this letter to is thriving now, after much prayer, sacrifice, work and self examination. Here is the part of the letter, ”……. I hope and pray that you will each read this with an open heart and an open mind. I have spoken to each of you numerous times, but I have never taken occasion to write you a letter. I have found over the years that sharp truthful words are better conveyed through written words. It is not my intent to hurt you, but rather help heal your relationship. You see, in the current state, your access to each other is severely hindered by your words, deeds, and thoughts. I want to preamble the remainder of my letter with this, I am a sinner to the very core of my being and totally and completely dependent on the Grace of God. I am not higher in value, or in any way trying to convey a more superior position than you. I had to be faced with the very real possibility of losing everything before I realized I had nothing. Remember when Jesus said he who seeks to find his life on his own, he will lose it, but he whose loses his life for His sake, will find it. You must lay down your life, sacrifice and die to self, and live for each other. Until now, you each have lived in such a manner that expresses selfishness. You know, if you are open and honest with yourself, you can’t go on living this way. It is too hard, requires too much effort and the return is fleeting. Friends you shall surrender your hearts like you never have before. To God, and to each other. Start a revival in your heart and let it flow out to one another. Examine yourself, not each other. Point out that which is good in each other and build on that. Learn to overlook the small things, and grab hold of the things that have true value. Seek after right living, and right Loving. I Love you, and pray for you, but you need to do the right thing. If you don’t know what that is, ask God through His word, and His people. Get out of the world, and into His arms. He is ever able to help you. You are still beautiful couples, and the loveliest I know. It is quite a pleasure to call both of you my friends...... Blessings .
