Friendships

Friendships
Sometimes I think people take friendships for granted. You may not realize who your true friends are until you fall on hard times. Maybe the people you thought were your friends disappear during those hard times. Do you think a lot of people who try to become your friend have their own selfish agenda? Maybe you have done or experienced all of the above and don’t realize it.

I’m sure along the way in my life’s journey I have had friendships that I’ve shown little appreciation for. I know some people in my past took my friendship for granted, but how do you know? I think betrayal is one way people might realize they’ve been taken for granted. Betrayal will hurt someone to the very core and boy does it suck. Betrayal can make you fall on hard times emotionally and then who do you turn to?

You may not realize who your true friends are until those hard times come. Who is the one that lends an ear when you need someone to talk to? Who is the one that gives you a shoulder when the tears start to fall? Maybe your significant other is the one that you talk to or cry to when things are hard, but I think most people always have that one friend they tell everything to. Sometimes when you find yourself at a low point in life, you have someone there to catch you, but how do you know that person doesn’t have a selfish agenda.

There are some selfish people in this world and they use your weak moments to their advantage. How do you know if a friend has their own selfish agenda? You may never know, but through their actions you might be able to tell. You never want to think that a friend of yours has their own agenda, but; it happens.

We are all on a journey through life and people come and go in our lives. Sometimes you grow apart from your friendships and there is nothing wrong with that. I believe we learn something from everyone we come in contact with. Maybe you learn to have a little more wisdom when choosing your friends. Just remember not one person is perfect. Friends can let you down or lift you up. You never know, but what I do know is that God said he would never leave you or forsake you and he is always there for you.

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured unto you. And why behold you the mote that is in your brother’s eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye? Or how will you say to your brother, Let me cast out the mote out of your eye; and lo, the beam is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother’s eye.
