Heart ache

My heart is aching with someone else’s pain. Helpless, and wishing I could fix it, but it’s not that simple. Loving them and wanting to hold them tight until it stops. Angry at the causing of the pain, but understanding that pain is usually required for growth and praying that this will be the case here. Praying that truth, honesty and wisdom will guide decisions, that God’s presence will be near to them and that they will find comfort in Him, and that they know I love them. J.
