I do not know if in this dream God was speaking to me are not. In the past, (and I still struggle with this) is trusting in God. I do think that I am supposed to be there to help and encourage. By doing this my attitude is greatly changing. I am becoming my understanding, open and honest with people. I stop more to listen to problems and just offer advice. I used to eternalize their problems and make them my own and I am learning not to do that.
I feel that we should help one another and help bear burdens but that doesn't mean that we take someone elses problems and put them on us. We should offer advice, be there to talk to and then the person should arrive to a conclusion on how they are going to change a situation.
You can not change a person, only greatly influence them. Whether or not they choose to take that advice is up to them. It is not your fault if they do not listen.Have I been a great friend in the past.

No. Am I learning? Yes.
