Something that I have learnt today.
I had a terrible argument with a very special good friend yesterday and hurt this friend's feelings tremendously. We were very angry at each other. It hurt real bad. Realising my mistake, I tried my utmost best to apologize and kept on trying until this friend will forgive me for what I have done.
I wrote previously that I did not have a reason to live and could not reconcile with God. I looked for anwers everywhere and could not find the right ones I needed. I was guilt ridden and thought God will never be able to forgive me.
I have realised, that am actually the problem. i will move mountains to have my friend forgive me, but I am not willing to do that with the Lord. I wanted some miracle solution.
This morning at work it hit me like a lightning bolt. I am sad because I might have lost a friend and are trying everything to save a friendship. Why have I been blind. I have a friend in Jesus and must keep on trying to reconcile with the Lord. I must be willing to move the mountains for Him too! I must never give up. I must keep on trying and trying. Jesus is my friend and He wants me to be His friend too. So the same effort I put in a earthly friendship, I must put in the friendship with my Heavenly Father (even more, cause He will never forsake me). A friendship works from 2 sides. Jesus has done His part, now it is my turn to do my part.
This terrible experience with my friend has actually opened my eyes and give me a new vision in life. It give me the strength to carry on, TO LIVE.
