Lettting go when it's hard







I've been thinking lately about what Jeff said. What Jeff had said yesterday night really caught my attention . He said that even when its hard to let people in your life that aren't good you need to let go . I thought about it the whole night it was hard on me. I had been thinking about one of my friends that I had made towards the end of the year. Her name was Amber . She was new to the school and I saw her and thought to myself I should be a friend to her . I mean she had no friends and i knew what it was like to not have friends at all for 2 years in middle school. One day Went up to her said hi and a few other words we began to talk the next again and so on. It was not until a few months after I knew her that I realized something. Amber had started writing poems to me that were really good I mean she was good. So I asked her to make me copies of her poems and she did. Finally it came it struck me just like that her poems were saying bad and unnecessary things. Then on from that day I knew I shouldn't take her poems anymore because it kept happening . But the worst thing I did was never tell her that I couldn't take the poems any more. She had also done something really bad that I won't ever forget. I don't know if I could forgive her . I'll do it even if it's the hardest thing to do. Now I finally realize that you should always be careful of who you keep as a friend. I love her dearly but I can't settle to have a relationship with her anymore because of what might happen. It's the right thing to do but yet I know it's going to be hard to tell her. No one ever likes telling someone that you can't see or be a part of their life anymore. The one good thing about this is I want to be closer to God and I don't think I can if I would be making friends with someone who wouldn't be pleasing to God . I have to do what's right especailywhen am a christian. I've prayed about and I know God is telling me to do it . God can always help you in a decision of what to do . I thank him for helping work this out . Praise God!

Rebekah,

This is a hard thing to do and I trust you will do the right thing. But we really want this friend of yours to be saved and we should pray for her and never give up. Ask God to give you wisdom for things you can say to her in way that she will feel the love of Jesus, not some one judging her.

But if you have to leave go of this friend remember this promise from Jesus:

Matthew 19:29 (King James Version)


29And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
