I have a lot of good friends. However, I think I often take them for granted. I don't think I intend to do this, but I sort of just let it happen. Life gets rolling and the next thing you know I have forgotten about many of my friends. Why do I continually do this? It is a part of me that makes me sad.
It's funny because I often long for a friend that I can call on anytime, count on for anything I need, can tell most anything and that I can reciprocate the same things back to. Yet, I don't put in the hard work necessary to cultivate a relationship of this quality. Lazy? Indifferent? Apathetic? Maybe.
I know I am create for relationship - I am made in the image of One who in his very nature embodies a deep intimate relationship. So, I know the longing within in my right and true - it is at the core of who I have been created to be. But the hard work of making this true rests on me and my efforts of cultivating the relationships.
