Friends Hurt

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Prov. 17:17

I try to be a good friend, I try and go out of my way anytime my friends need me. So why can't I expect the same from my friends? As if losing my bff wasn't hard enough, now to be going through this; it's like my heart has been ripped out of my chest once again. Just when I thought things were looking up and getting better.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Cor. 12:9

I am the kind of person who will give up everything for a man if I truly love him (which, I learned the hard way through my ex's abuse not to ever EVER do again) give anything to a friend in need, put everything behind you if you're having a hard time. So why, why can't for once someone do it for me. Don't get me wrong, I am not having a pity party, I am blessed with the life God gave me and very, very thankful for his grace and mercy, but I am only human and it still hurts.
