That moment you get the news that someone received their breakthrough after all that they've been through. They've shared their most intimate, real and personal trial with you. What should be your response?
You celebrate with them. You cry with them because breakthrough has come. You know what they've been through. Just like them, even you thought this is an impossible situation, but you pray anyway. You call on God anyway. You thank God anyway, even if your faith isn't that strong. Why do you do all of this? You do it because you hate the suffering. You hate the pain they're going through. You want to see them smile again. You want to see them experience the joy of the Lord. You want them to live life again.
That is why you celebrate with them. It's a burden lifted.
We long to be trusted by someone, and what awesome way to show we can be trusted when we are real. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CELEBRATE YOUR FRIENDS? Your breakthrough is on the way!!
Job 8:20 says: "He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy."
Amazing!! You want them to come and feel safe where they're celebrated and not tolerated.
So good Leslene.
