Well she's not just my friend. She's someone I admire... she's someone who took time out that night to talk about something she isn't very keen to talk about and yet this was what I did to her.
I apologised immediately. In her reply she explained that she actually did take offence at what I said. I asked her to forgive me. She says,
"it's okay, I won't take it to heart".
I don't know what to make of it because it sounds so cold.
Whereas for me... I can't believe I did such a thing. In a way, I was disappointed at the revelation of my selfishness. In a way I'm upset about how it was just bad publicity for myself. In a way I'm just lost because I feel like I've wronged her so badly I can never face her again.
Strangely enough, the lyrics of this song came to mind.
我無助的時候,你給我力量;
我害怕的時候,你緊緊抱住我,
當我覺得我不行,你告訴我可以,
你就是那最愛我的主。
我緊緊抓住你,我永遠不放手;
我看到你獨生子,為我釘死在十架上。
我緊緊抓住你,我永遠不放手,
是你醫治了我,是你從來未離開過我。
我已看到我的未來,充滿信心和盼望
It's just like that isn't it. With no where to go, nothing better to say, no one to speak to, with the life sucked out of me, I grasp shamelessly at the Lord who loves me. At the Lord who gives me strength to change. At the Lord who understands and does not overlook nor despise.
I feel like I've really got nothing else.
Update:
Turns out there a message came in while I was typing this post.
She made a joke about herself. She said "don't worry, I forget things very quickly". It's a joke we often make about her flaky memory.
I see that she took pains to try to lighten the mood. I feel so restored. Thank God. Why does grace come so quickly?
