    Do not take it for granted if you have friends who are trustworthy, loyal, supportive, present etc, thank God for them. It is and has been my prayer for God to connect me with good friends.

    Hi dream team!
    Thank you so much for the installment @the makhs.
    I appreciated the part about allowing our friends a level of vulnerability as far as expressing their deepest feelings about our achievements especially when things are not looking up for them. When we know our bestie's heart for us, we are then able to see that if they feel a little bit jealous then it's because they are human and not because they are no longer loyal to us. Thanks Mr. Makhs

    The most insightful thing I've heard is that "jealously is an indication that you want what someone else has, that in itself is not the issue because the knowledge that you want something is not problematic. The issue is how you react to it."

    A much-needed conversation. I'm currently going through a friendship breakup and I have known the person since I was 8. I thought she was going to be part of my bridesmaids when I get married one day, the aunt to my kids. I mean we had plans for when we were older and I couldn't wait to see what God had in store for us. I thank you for the installment that is just so powerful and so much wisdom and has given me some food for thought. You guys are such a blessing in the Kingdom of God.

    Yoh I am a lover of people especially my friends. I have many that my wife even lose count lol. I am learning though to cut down those who want to be celebrated and wanting to always be on a receiving end and not reciprocating the love I give to them. I am guarding my heart more this year.
    The Great I AM loves you

    This is such a timely video. God is teaching me so much about friendships this season, it’s been sooo strong in my heart to take time out to pray for my friends.
    In as much as I loveeee my husband, he is not my best friend because my female best friends are soooo important to me and they make me be a better wife to my husband.
    There’s a saying that 20 friends can’t play for 20 years. I’m such an intense friend as well and I had to take time to really “grade” my friendships. There is my CORE friends (we maintain the same energy towards each other) and then there are other friends that I noticed they weren’t as open and vulnerable with me like I was to them so I had to “dim my love” so as not to get hurt and reduce my expectations and of them.
    Also yes, friendship grows and sometimes we are just not patient to watch it evolve but such is life.
    Thank you so much for the powerful, healthy, rich instalment as usual. ❤🤗

    I saw the heading and liked immediately !!!! @lerato it was such a pleasure to meet you at Vodaworld.... I am always blessed by you guys. God Bless!!!! This is so timely for me. My one friend admitted to me that she was jealous when a bought a brand of esxpensive multi-vitamins that she really liked 🤣... I burst out laughing. Because I actually knew she is such a content person and isn't a copy cat and very unique in her taste. So I was laughing because I realized how much she values health and nutrition , also I only bought that one bottle because I thought it would solve my weight-loss issues …Haha :) , meanwhile her whole lifestyle was healthy. She is always been a great friend though and I guess , its good to be sensitive to your friends needs. I will be buying it for her as a gift this year.

    The way you guys were able to articulate yourselves so beautifully in this conversation, I am full! But this particular topic cannot just end here, WE NEED A SERIES on this topic, as it is one of our biggest struggles when it comes to relationships. Please, if it is well with you continue this conversation by bringing in the people you're friends with. We wanna hear a more in-depth conversation from your friends and you. It can be Lerato and his best friend in one episode and Phet and her bestie the next week... of course if your friends are okay with being on the platform. We can send you guys questions that you can answer on the topic of friendships.....Because dammn it's a lot. And even if others may have it easy on their friendships, some of us are struggling. So seeing a good representation of healthy friendships will definitely help. Of course this is a suggestion. Thank you guys, I've liked, shared, and commented and I'm subscribed. Stay blessed.

    @marvelousmbali8002 Год назад +3

    Exactly I felt like that as well and even friendships I had at state theatre and in the industry I feel like when I give everyone genuine and pure love they use me and when it comes to males they think I want them I’m obsessed with that I had so many issues with my newly best friend and that started affecting so much and our friendship as well and he started treating me so unfairly and I remember falling into depression going to therapy for a year because I was clueless of why he is treating me like this when I just love everyone boldly and genuinely. I have to let go of friendships because I felt used and I’m one person who can’t love or care about someone from a far I mean God doesn’t love me from a far distance so why should I love one of his children like that but anyways a lot landed me in therapy now I’m better made peace that I don’t have friends I just have people I know and socialise with and it’s ok I guess

    Beautiful conversations, I’m one of those people who loveeeee friendships and there comes a time you look into yourself and assess if you’ve been a good friend.
    If not, you forgive yourselves and learn better. Apologise so the other party doesn’t think they are crazy.
    Thanks to the Makhs ❤

  • @KaraboM
    @KaraboM Год назад +4

    Absolutely loved this installment🥺❤ one thing I picked up from this as well is that DAMN Aus'P...being straight forward with your friend and telling him you cant be there anymore etc. I struggle with that...I cant be straight forward like that and I think its cause I dont want to hurt peoples feelings you know. Crazy but hey..definitely something I need to work on cause it really does set boundaries.
    Also friendships...I also had friends whereby I thought they were my besties but I wasnt their bestie...so I did pull away from that too cause it was not beneficial or fruitful at all!
    Overall...loved this segment and shout out to your bestfriends who are part of your lives. It must be such a fulfilling and healthy relationship!❤✝️✝️✝️✝️💫 Love to see it!

  • @bmol9869
    @bmol9869 Год назад +1

    I still love watching you two water your garden of love. 💕.
    @Pheto what you said about friends with similar and or same taste, how it can build towards unknown rivalry, I wish I'd understood this from an early age. In a group of friends I always ended up feeling alone since childhood simply because group envy has been my biggest battle.
    I used to share my aspirations, ideas etc with those I thought were close but realised later I wasn't their closest which stung, that all the while they would despise my choice of anything because they either wanted it for themselves first or only if not wished to become what I would share with them about my future plans. At every phase there was at least one girl of my friends & in some cases family members who would either copy every single thing I do including buying clothes, drastically change hair styles to match mine, aspire about the same things, go for a guy I am dating or confess they want to be like me. All I can say is I am grateful I have a handful of real ones BUT they are few and far between.

    I’m so much like the mrs Max, I love very boldly. I am extremely extremely loyal to my friends. And as a result I have been able to keep the friends that love boldly and I also extremely extremely loyal to me. Anything else, stay away from me. If you don’t support me and my relationship, and my daughter, and my family, then I have no use for your in my life. For me it’s really that simple loyalty plus love that’s all I’m asking for.

    You know neh 😂😂😂 wow so with me I had a lot of guy friends because I could relate more to them then girls the house is full of gents than girls so it naturally became that thing of ah it’s easy to create friendships in that area. But now they problem start when I had so many head surgeries I had to cut my hair. I started loving short hair did that often times lol until I was called lesbian so it forced me to let go of them and create new females friends now I’m in my middle 20s and I’m back to square one😂🤦🏾‍♀️ but my mom still has an issue with the whole thing she be like for once grow your hair like your female friends and other normal girls it’s like I’m not normal but I understand where she comes from I look more like my dad even the walk so when my hair is gone I’m like a boy straight up that’s why the lesbian thing.
