My Friendship Troubles Update

November 11, 2009 at 10:33 am (Uncategorized)

Weee! At last, I was able to talk to two of my closest friends, Tiffany and Raymond M.. Conflicts sure do bring friends closer if we’ll only approach it in a way that would please God. It became clear that we just misinterpreted each other. I was thinking about what I said that they should remain a true friend even to those who they think as fake friends, but I suddenly realized that it isn’t a reason to stop being faithful even though it is tiresome of always being the one doing that. And.. it’s all just misinterpretations anyway. Aside from the lessons I learned from that test/trouble, something good also happend when I wasn’t with them. I got closer to other friends :) yey! Hello there 18 souls etc :)

I also wanna post this. This is the advice I got from christianster.com:

You have to accept first the fact that there is still imperfections among the members of the churches. Simply because our churches are composed of members with different walks of life. For instance, diversities of culture, circumstances in life, levels of lifestyle and commitment, interests and attitudes.

Now, how are you going to respond when you’re in this kind of community? Set your mind and heart on Christ alone because He’s the author and the finisher of our faith. In church, we’re not worshipping people nor serving them ,we’re worshipping and serving God. You can be stumble if you focus on the imperfections of the church members. Even if you transfer to all church affiliations, you’ll never see perfect members. Christ wants us to please and follow him.

I appreciate your sincerity in sharing us your problems. Well, it’s normal to admire. But not to the point that you give in to obsession. This is idolatry and sometimes will lead to lust.

With regards to your relationship with friends… Just be faithful even if you’re friends will be unfaithful to you sometimes. Always show you’re sincerity and kindness to your friends. In other words, be friends to everyone and always be true to your friendship with them.

As a Christian, you can be a blessing and a light bringer unto your friends. Just show them the Christ who live in you. Don’t worry regardless of how they would treat you. The thing that matter most is not how they regard you but how you regard them.

Seek to please Christ rather than to please your friends. God can use you mightily even at the toughest times of your life. For in our brokenness sometimes His light shines in our lives.

You may have misunderstanding with your friends sometimes but never ever let bitterness dwell in your life. Embrace ways that can help you grow up in your relationship with Jesus Christ and with your friends.

God bless…:)

->Nice♥
