When a person meets and starts a friendship with someone with special needs for the very first time I have noticed in most cases one of things will happen. A genuine and real friendship will be started between the two people with GOD'S HELP AND HIS LOVE. I define (a genuine friend as a friend who loves you fully in God's unconditional way. They're also willing to get to know us for just who we are A good Bible verse for that concept is (John 13:14) Love one another as I have loved you. Another verse is (Romans 12:10) Be devoted to one another in brotherly (sisterly) love Honor each other above yourselves. I'm grateful to mostly have genuine friends.
The next type of friends that I love and enjoy having in my life as a person with special needs are what I'd classify as a trying and willing friend which is someone who wants to get to know us but is a little shy about doing it at first When that period of shyness is over, they'll talk to me and realize that I'm just like them with a heart and feelings who's just sitting down.
In my lifetime I've also had many pity friendships too . they're people that just become friends because they feel sorry for me and or all of us with special needs. Sadly ,I've had to let those friends go because it was their desire to do so
THANK YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS. ALL OF YOU HAVE MADE MY FAITH DEEPER BY LOVING EACH OF YOU UNCONDITIONALLY AND PRAYING FOR YOU AND FOR SOME GOD HAS TAUGHT ME A GREAT DEAL ABOUT FORGIVENESS
To all readers of this post, my question to you is after meeting a person with special needs what type of friend would you consider yourself to be? I challenge all of you to think about it.
GOD TELLS US TO LOVE EVERYONE...DO YOU?
