"Don't ever be afraid to come to me and cry. Don't ever hesitate to look me in the eye. Don't ever be afraid to tell me how you feel. You're my friend, together we gotta keep it real."
I have a close friend who has been going through a great deal of stress and pain in the last few weeks. Some days she seems to be on a high, smiling and enjoying life. While others she is just sad and doesn't understand the pain.
We talk everyday about the situation and ways to get through it. She seems to always ask me, "Why me?" and I don't know the answer.. so I just have to say, "I don't know, but you are stronger than this." I know that she is stronger than this situation...but I also know that this is hard and not easy to face.
Tonight we were talking and I could tell that she wanted to cry. I moved and sat beside her and held her in my arms and told her to cry.
Sometimes crying is not easy for us. We don't like to do it in front of others, we would rather hold in the pain. I'll admit, I don't like to cry in front of others.
The quote I chose to begin this evenings writings is dedicated to her. I hope she is never afraid to cry with me, never afraid to tell me how she really feels, never afraid to be real.
Facing a trial and tribulation with the help of a close friend always makes the situation seem a little brighter.
I'd like to share a few more of my favorite friendship quotes this evening. Maybe they will inspire you to thank someone in your life that you can be real with. Someone you can cry with and look in the eye. Don't ever forget that God placed these people in your life for a reason. When you are looking for God, just look around. He has placed people there to help you get through this.

"We are both of us angels with only one wing. We can fly only by embracing each other."
"When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look forward, look beside you and I'll be there."
"A friend is someone who smiles when you smile, laughs when you laugh, and cries when you cry."

A wounded child by the ways of this world
Shattered by cruel words hurled as swords
Yes she’s wounded, her soul shattered
Like a child yet she’s grown up
I look at her and watch her walk
Stumble in the cold, dark night
Yes, she stumbles as she reaches
Aimless searching, she’s so lost now
(And when I think of her)
I just want to cry
I want to sit in your presence and cry
So hold me now and let me rest
Safely in the warmth of your hand
As I cry
As I sit in your presence and cry
And whisper tears ‘cause words can’t speak
The depth of my broken heart
As I cry
A wounded child stuck in the ways of this world
Shattered by forbidden love they don’t understand
Yes she’s wounded, her heart shattered
She’s His child but they can’t see that
I look at her and watch her walk
Stumble in the secret night
Yes she stumbles as she tries hard
To embrace it, should she reject it
(and when I think of her)
Oh Lord, you are my shelter
You’re the calm within my storm
And I know that I can fall into your arms
So take these shattered souls that break my heart in two
And make them whole like I know that you can do.
And help them to cry
To sit in your presence and cry
Hold them now and let them rest
Safely in the warmth of your hand
As they cry
As they sit in your presence and cry
And whisper tears ‘cause words can’t speak
The depth of their mending hearts
As they cry
Help us to cry
