When you’re let down…

Being let down hurts. It can leave us feeling isolated to the core.

Pastoral care Helen Thorne-Allenson

I’m not talking here about the kind of being let down that comes from gross moral failure, or malicious betrayal. I mean the kind of being let down that happens when people just don’t show up to help. The kind of being let down that stems from people staying silent in a debate; deciding not to give; forgetting to pray for an important life event or choosing not to jump to our defence (or our cause) in a social media storm.
