❤️  There is a truth to this life as a believer in Christ , we must show ourselves to be friendly , but not expect it in return. In the last 6 months I have had to accept a lot of truths. that a lot of people were not indeed my friend. I was their friend, praying (still do) , accountability, encouragement , honest, communication, etc. But the end of 2020 the inner circle would end up more like an inner wall, those that were over me that were meant to pour into me and protect me and help encourage me , would be the ones to accuse, reject , misjudge and underestimate my relationship with the Lord, not all but some . The ones I speak of they know who they are , if you don’t know, if you are questioning if this is you. It is not you. You would know if it is was you. The betrayals were simple, sure and plain. But never could be as much as Judas did to our Christ.

      ❤️ Christ laid down His life knowing most people would betray Him laugh at Him doubt Him , and persecute those that believed in Him. He still offered His friendship, and I will do the same, I have done the same, in the last few years that is what I have learned. In the world that understanding is difficult almost impossible to grasp. But with the Holy Spirit inside it is not. I can be your friend without you being mine. I can be there for you knowing you wouldn’t lift a finger for me, I can clothe you , feed you , help you in any way I should help a neighbor expecting nothing not even a thank you in a return because my best friend did that for me. And do it with peace and joy . And all I pray for in return is that for all things you give the Most High Glory that you are blessed and receive salvation in the end. Because I am your friend, and any good friend knows, there is no decision more important than heaven or hell. So as your friend , I will always remind you of that and encourage you to choose Christ. Always .

❤️But we are all human, discretion is needed especially for a woman. So this post is not to discuss how I was betrayed but to actually give thanks to the Most High God that will never betray me. To His son Christ who died for me. The least I can do is live for Him. Each day I live I pray that I am one step closer to perfection and my mistakes are fewer than the last. Each day I pray I forgive myself and all others, and praise the Lord as if it is my last.
❤️It takes a lot of energy to hate, most if not all people are just not worth it so if you come across this post, I just want you to be encouraged to stay friendly , we are not friendly because of the people in this world, we do not show ourselves friendly because we want their friendship, or because we owe them, it is because Christ is our friend, a friend who died for us, a friend , who bled for us, and He was sinless, we all have a past we all have something we have done we are not proud of . and Christ died for that. To show us how the best friend could be. He is the best friend for me. And for you.
I pray you know this truth. That you receive this truth and live this truth out in life.
And in your friendship with Christ be satisfied.

**Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
***John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
