    I have been on a spiritual journey with God, and the journey has been phenomenal! I have realized when you are elevating yourself to the next level, God will remove people out of your life “who are against you” because, they can not be apart of your new journey, and they are a hindrance to your blessings. I am at the point in my life if something is not adding value & serves a purpose for a positive outcome, I will remove myself from the situation to protect my heart, happiness, and peace. I’ am physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally in good spirits by God’s grace. I will not allow anyone to block me from my blessings, and discourage me to fulfill my destiny. I prayed for God to reveal my hidden enemies. God exposed my best friend who I’ve known for 22 years. God also exposed her evil hidden agenda. God told me “She was pretending to be my friend for her own personal gain. She was never happy for me & never wished me well. She secretly competing with me for years. Our friendship has always been one-sided & unhealthy.” I am so blessed & grateful! God protected me from my enemies, and exposed bad friends who were in my life. I love myself to protect my happiness & peace. I don’t have any regrets for cutting off my best friend.

      I thought this too but then realized my purpose will bring clarity and answers to relationships. Who sticks around when things get hard? Who supports me in my journey and allow me to support them? Who really wants to be on a team? Build a real family? Who really wants to live in love?
      Please be encouraged that there are people like us around. Your purpose and living it 100% will bring you to the family you're intended to have.

    True loyalty is rooted in principles and not in people, but it is intended to serve people. When you are loyal to your wife, you are loyal to the idea of love and fidelity. When you are loyal to your friend, you are loyal to camaraderie and brotherhood.
    Embrace loyalty and strive to remain faithful to your chosen cause until all the work you can do for that cause is done, which in many cases may be the end of your life.
    Loyalty is not dependent on reciprocity. Are you able to handle the winds and storms when things are not working your way? Are you able to still keep your word?
    Be the loyal person you expect others to be.
    All the best to you, reader!

    Just saw this on Facebook today.
    Let me tell you man, this is straight fire
    My wife and I went through a separation from Nov. to March and it was ugly. We let 'friends' poison our well. Then, when everything went down, we each saw from our own camps how these toxic relationships had made us draw our own camps separate from each other. God used that time to show us how these people who we thought had our backs were the ones who made us leave OUR camp, to jump into theirs.
    We are now closer than ever, and let me tell you- the way we were able to multiply is through subtraction.
    Real life pain and struggle will show who your real friends are. Truth

We are no longer together, he has a poor relationship with his children, he lives in his car and just found out he has a STD. Oh the friend?? happily married, being the best father he can be.. Living the good life.. yes his " Best friend " so he thought..

    Not only do they try to destroy everything about you, but they try to destroy your family, and everything you have acquired and poses.

    Members. And it’s all because of the path that God has chosen for me. But I’m thankful for the pandemic because it has open up all the lessons I have learned and needed to learn from all the people that are supposely were my friends. I’m ready to begin my new journey soon.

    True real friends don't expose you period with your name or just talking about you without your name an hints about you to others. They stay loyal an keep all your secrets and don't expose to others period. True real friends are always there for you and defend you no matter what. Real facts!

    Jesus is your only true friend. He will never leave you or forsaken you. He is the meaning of true love. If thats what your seeking He is not far from you. He hand is stretching out to you. He will never fail you. But every person in this world sooner or later will fail. Jesus is my only true friend.

And i may never have one ever cause if i can have 20 friends that didn't care about me then most likely the next one wouldn't care about me either. Its a pattern that just keeps repeating itself. Why bother anymore.

      @wgraack 8 лет назад +15

      I am sorry, Jester Spades, "Unique Nish", "GodsChild412", & "Life with Pages" that you all feel like you have No Friends. Believe me, I have felt that kind of despair in the past (due to homelessness, joblessness, pain of divorce) but I can't say that anymore.
      There are a great number of people that God has placed in my life to remind me (over and over again) that our FEELINGS cannot and Should Not be trusted. Trent Shelton said some really great things and touched on the importance of Friendship (Having Friends and Being a Friend) in this video, and he mentioned GOD, but he didn't tell us (as I just read this morning) "A Friend loves at all times, and a Brother (or Sister) is born for a time of Adversity". Those ancient words of Wisdom come from the Old Testament Book of Proverbs, found in the greatest Bestseller of all time, the BIBLE. Nor did Trent say that "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but There is a FRIEND who sticks closer than a Brother".
      So many times I have gotten it wrong, people:
      We were CREATED to Love God and One Another, but we end up LOVING THINGS and USING PEOPLE. A wise and loving friend of mine (another somewhat reluctant Follower of Jesus) once shared this with me:
      "Hurting People (Do and Say things that) Hurt People"

    • @harrysapienn7911
      @harrysapienn7911 8 лет назад +21

      There are a few ways to go about getting real friends. First and foremost, seek out individuals who are honorable and have integrity. Second, follow the golden rule. Be the friend you wish you had, treat them the way you want to be treated. Third, don't lie to yourself and trust your eyes --actions speak louder than words, so judge those around you by their actions. Fourthly, seek out "Positive" people who are trying to better thier lives in a positive and successful way. "Positive" rising stars want fellow rising stars around them. Lastly, overcome your social conditioning about what is "cool" and learn to see beyond the bullshit.
