Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

I think the worst thing you can do to your friend is to be silent when they hope for a response.  I’d rather someone yell at me than completely shut down and ignore me.  It’s about the most harmful, hateful thing you can do, to neglect your friend who needs to hear from you.  Please don’t be so aloof or stubborn or oblivious to think that “space” is always a good thing.  Sometimes you need to rip away from your own isolated tower with all your aching strength and reach in with total vulnerability. It’s tough to do this, but tougher not to. - J.S. Park

Again...it all comes down to not loving when loving is hard. If you are a follower of Jesus, you love...in a completely selfless manner.

Sigh. I feel ignored most of the time.
