With Friends Like These. . .

Living under the supposed curse of God and feeling that her life had no real value must have been hard enough for Hannah. What added problem did she have? 1 Sam. 1:6, 7.

1 Samuel 1:6-7 "And because the LORD had closed her womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her. 7 This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat."

Those who are closest to us often know how to hurt us most. With Peninnah
 
I would try to encourage them with Jesus' love within me....showing them they are worth more, than they can even imagine or know, to God Jehovah and to me! I did that for Wanda when I knew she was thinking about not wanting to live after my brother, Larry, committed suicide! I cried out unto the Lord during and after the divorce and that's when He poured His Holy Spirit within me and filled me with His forgiving love! May God Bless! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
Wonderful post! We never know what someone else is going thru. I can sympathize with Hannah....I've been there, I am there. We've had well-meaning friends make ridiculous comments, "You are just trying to hard", "it will happen when you least expect it", "I don't understand, I know y'all would make wonderful parents". I got so sick of hearing those comments I could have vomitted. Some people meant well, others didn't. Some were nosy, some were just mean. I learned thru our difficulties, that sometimes it's best to tell someone you are here if they want to talk and then to keep your mouth shut. Sometimes presence means more than words. I praise GOD that he lifted all my insecurites about not having a biological child.....the longing, depression and feeling of failure were unbearable. I am ashamed to admit that I wouldn't go to baby showers because I would hate myself for weeks afterword. It was a bad time. I Praise GOD for the new life he gave us that in turn gave me a new life.
