What’s interesting is that as I started reading this, my mind immediately went to others in the church who might be feeling the same way but no one notices. And then I thought, how can I help them see it, bring it to Jesus, and face it, without making things worse?
It could definitely be a delicate situation to get involved in a person’s life. However, I do believe that there are people around us that we know, that have known struggles they battle. We can wrongly assume they’ve got their struggles under control, and in so doing, they find themselves drifting further along with shame growing around them.

Great point. Either way, it gave something to work on. That's for sure.
