People sometimes fail to understand that when one goes through an emotional battle, the problem is seldom remedied with the mere transmittal of information, even if that information is Biblical. And to assume that one's burdens can be bought off with mere data only trivializes the matter.
I know it's best that I let it go, but what if it persists, and does not let go of me? I know, even if only secretly, that what I'm experiencing is unreasonable; but my problem was never one of reason in the first place, and so cannot be so easily remedied with reason. Feelings are not the sorts of things that can be argued with as though they can be "right" or "wrong"... they simply are, and like it or not, they are to be dealt with.
In the end, the only thing I am aware of that can offer the hope for healing is knowing that someone will descend to where I am ...and simply be there.
No condescending treatment, no trivializing the matter, no simple solutions... Just be.
