Believers may face difficult times when a loved one leaves them. Stressful times can follow if family or friends abandon each other – but we must remember God does not abandon us. We must work together to rebuild friendships and bring glory to Him on high.

Friendships, brothers, edify one another, forgiveness, we are not forsaken
