We have to learn to accept people for who they are. If you see that someone you know is not doing what you think or desire them to do. It's not up to us to convince or make them be who we want them to be or be like. We can want the best for others, but if we don't be careful, we will make them not wanting to be around us at all. Now, especially if they are harming themselves in any way, we want them to be comfortable coming to us for advice or assistance. So, as much as it hurts to see them moving in a different direction, we must pray for them and pray for guidance ourselves. God will always guide us in helping others, because sometimes we can become a crush to those we love, and they will never grow or receive from us. With the guidance from God, He will tell us when and when not to give, speak or let go.
Lord Help Us All,
