High Maintenance friendships

Whew...they are so exhausting.  I hear the enemy telling me every day to give them up and quit.  But the voice inside me says, "do not give up, my daughter.  Love them as I have loved you."

It is hard, don't get me wrong.  But oh, so rewarding in the long run.  Often those with whom we have high maintenance friendships are insecure, lonely, and need to feel loved.  They push and push for it, starving to be fed.  But we can only give it to them for so long.

Ultimately, we must look to The Father for help, and direct our aching friends towards Him for healing, and a love that will never let them go.
