Sympathy From Friends Can Become Intoxicating
Sympathy from friends when we’re going through the trials of life can be intoxicating. As humans, it feels good to be cared for. It feels good to be confirmed and acknowledged. But as perverted as it may seem, the good feeling of sympathy received can become more important to us than actively overcoming our situations through the Power of God. Don’t deprive others of your overcoming testimony because of your enjoyment of and your need to bask in the sympathy of friends.
