come in close , then pull away for a while , but the best friendships , like the tide , come back to us .
***
The way we choose to see our friends , our conflicts , and ourselves matters . The way we tell our story matters . As you decide how to tell the story of your faded friendship , I pray you view it through Christlike lenses , lenses that are clear , light-bringing , and life-giving .
Adapted from When a Friendship Falls Apart : Finding God ’ s Path for Healing , Forgiveness , and ( Maybe ) Help Letting Go by Elizabeth Laing Thompson , releasing from Tyndale House Publishers in October 2023 .
