"If somebody doesn't want to be your friend anymore-- don't get all uptight & sad about it. A friendship is a precious, covenant, priceless word & you shouldn't want anyone in your corner pretending to be for you if they really are not. So, smile-- wave goodbye & love them from a distance and remember your FRIENDS stay with you.. in & out of every season. There's a difference between situational relationships & real, authentic friendships. Don't confuse the two. Don't beg anybody to be your friend. WHO has time for that? It's a distraction from bringing people to Christ. Stay FOCUSED.
Don't create wars in your head w/ people that all the sudden ignore you. If they were super close to you, address it. If not-- move on.
The bible is clear-- if we study friendships.. "a friend sticks CLOSER then a brother."
So, your friends know you're not perfect. If your friend takes EVERYTHING you say out of context, things you're sub-tweeting about you. Pray for them & separate yourself. Be God-led in relationships. Some relationships .. you're meant to be in.
Stop running everybody off that irratates you a couple times. And lets be honest.. most of the time we think it's somebody else.. & it's really US who has the issues. Self-check before you friend-check.
Don't give people the title as "best friend" until you've been through hell & back together & they are STILL there. That takes TIME.
I totally LOVE people, I do. But after I meet someone, I'm not throwing them into my closest court of friendship. If you do- it's a set up.
I don't know about ya'll but my best friend... bridges me CLOSER to Christ, not away from Him. She's pursing God like I am as well
Don't be that "here we go again friend"-- you always have some drama.. an "issue" with everybody or whatever else.
You should want people to WANT to enjoy you!! If you're struggling with friendships, just simply ASK God HOW to be a better friend.
And whoever stands with you at your wedding, make sure they are real consistent-friends. I learned the hard way.
The minute your friendships become conditional is the day you put an expiration date on your friendship.
If you disappear out of a person's life for no reason... don't get mad if that person isn't interested in pursing a friendship..again.
When you spend time with God..HE will show you the hearts of people. So, stop questioning what He's showing you.
"One nation under G-d....." Hmmm, has that been true, honestly? For show, for show, for SHOWWWWW!!! Stop making G-d your homie for showwwwwww!
