You have suffered a heart blow today, but this hurt is not a punishment for your failure to carry your friends; you are not strong enough to carry them, or they you. Today's hurt is an inevitable result of turning to your fellow human beings for encouragement and help ahead of the Lord.
The Lord does not chastise a little child for being unable to reach a locked door even though someone has requested the child to do so. Other human beings do not have what you need. Likewise, you are not in possession of the key that would unlock the door of blessing for your needy friends.
Scripture: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28).
