Loved ones can cause some of our deepest sorrows and heartaches. Because the people we love the most have the potential to harm us the most. Strangers are unable to benefit. Do you recall Judas kissing Jesus? He was one of Jesus' closest friends, however he betrayed Him with a kiss. Imagine the suffering Jesus went through at that very time. He is well aware of what it is like to be betrayed. Aside from that, keep in mind that Jesus was crucified by the very people He came to redeem. However, His disciples weren't present while He was dying. All of them bolted from panic. Just picture the betrayal.
When things are tough, your pals might desert you. When you need them the most, your loved ones could ignore you. They might even kiss you and then turn on you. Pardon them. Like everyone else, they are sinners.
I'll be here for you, my child. You will survive by my grace. Your tears will be dried up and it will console you.
