Action. I just read your prayer request. I know how you feel. I also know how Lisa feels. I recently made a mistake that damaged a friendship that I hold so dear. While I know the Lord is working for me to answer my prayer for a restored friendship with my friend. I wanted to pass along some wisdom to you, that might make it easier for you to have a healed friendship between you and Lisa. Proverbs Chapt 17 Vs. 17. A friend loves at all times, brothers are born for adversity. Proverbs Chapt 10. VS. 12. Hatred stirs up dissension but Love Covers all wrongs. Proverbs Chapt 12. Vs 16. A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man over looks an insult. Chapt. 15. Vs. 1. A gentle answer turns away wrath. But harsh words stir up anger. Chapt 17. vs. 9. He who covers over an offense promotes love. Whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. It is so much easier being someone that has to apologize and seek forgiveness than it is to be someone who must do the forgiving. I was the one who had to apologize. I do not envy you or my friend, who must search their heart for love, understanding and wisdom, mercy and forgiveness. More often than not, it is the person who was wronged that will end up making things right in the end. Pray for your friend Lisa, and seek God, but do not let yourself burn with anger. Forgiveness and Mercy. God Loves us, even when we sin. And God Blesses us when we do not deserve it. That is true Mercy. So If I may recommend that even though Lisa may not deserve your friendship, or your love, that maybe you should give it to her anyway. Do not seek an apology, but just continue to show her love and understanding. This will show her more about friendship than she already knows, and she will eventually ask forgiveness. I will pray for you sir. and I will pray for Lisa. May god restore your friendship to its rightful and beautiful place. May God Bless you and Lisa, In Jesus Name.
