Often we are troubled by the realities of this world because things don’t seem to go our way when we really need it to. In the past, I had felt betrayed by those who were close to me, disappointed that I didn’t live up to my own expectations and not to mention the pain of self sacrifice.
Friendships are forever changing and in that respect, we become victims of our own actions. I am truly in debt to the lord for he has given me the strength to confront what I would have never been able to before. In life, we are often faced with the challenges of the unexpected and not what we expect. Awhile back, I was very foolish, but to be foolish is only to be human. What started out as a game turned sour as I became consumed by my own self interests. My friend had lost confidence in me, and I knew that I couldn't turn back the hands of time. I was compelled fix this as I put myself in the line of fire. All my life I've always had trouble making apologies because they seem so simple, leading ourselves to make the assumption that it is not worthwhile, yet I have learned that it’s always worth something to true friends. True friends are those without intentions, questions or answers.
For most of my life, I had felt that something was missing. I have spent many days and nights in various stages of emotional stress, the joy in the company of friends but loneliness once in darkness. Without a shadow of doubt, God has filled the emptiness that had been in my life for so long. With his love, I am whole once more.
If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this Love each other as I have loved you.
--John 15:10-12
