Struggling with friendships

[ice--eyes]

i've been having problems with one of my friends. well actually, he told me he didn't want to be friends anymore. we had dated for about 6 or 7 months... i still don't know if it was a mistake. i learned from it, so in that way it was a good thing. i'm having trouble forgiving him and letting go of what we had. we went too fast, he says we went too fast from the beginning because he didn't know me well enough, i don't know. it's a long story.... i just need verses about forgiveness and hope.... i want to move on but i'm struggling with the pain...

[Bolts]

Ephesian 4:32

Be kind and compassion to one another

forgiving each other just as in Christ, God forgave you.

Don't stay angry. Anger eats away at our souls.

If you have to, tell him face to face that you forgive him.

check out this post I made...the verse and the quote in there I found very inspireing...it is a part of what God is leading me to learn about my own hardships (after getting dumped by a guy I dated for a year...and he refuses friendship too): http://www.worthyboards.com/index.php?showtopic=32261

Also, try reading the book of Ephesians...it is full of very encourageing words.

If you want someone to talk to at all, I always check my PM's every day

Don't lose hope God is there for you

I dated my ex-girlfriend for about 5-6 months and after we broke up I told her I didn't want to see her anymore. It wasn't because I hated her, it was because being with her reminded me too much of what we had. That relationship moved way too quick too. A quote from a movie comes to mind when I think of that experience.

"A clean break is easier. You can reset it... and it heals, and you move on. But if you leave things messy

or things don't get put right... then it just hurts. Forever." -Litlle Black Book (2004)

This was so true, because the way we broke up was very complicated too. And that experience festered in my heart for a very long time, but not forever. You may not believe this but there will be a morning that you will wake up and it won't hurt anymore. Something to keep in mind is that the whole point of dating is to get to know someone you eventually may want to marry. So anything you learn throughout the dating process is something positive that adds to your experience in the dating world. The only thing that truly heals wounds like this is time. Take your life one day at a time, and do whatever makes you happy. I also encourage you to read Luke. The bible is always comforting for me to read for some reason, and Luke tells the story of Jesus. If you are already a believer, this book just reminds us of everything Jesus said and did for us. And it is comforting to be reminded of where you are ultimatly going. Sometimes it feels better when you share what is bothering you, and I am curious as to more details of what happened with your friend. But if you don't want to then I understand. Here are a few versus:

1 Thessalonians 4:16 "The Lord himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. And those who have died believing in Christ will rise first."

Revelation 22:7 "Listen! I am coming soon! Happy is the one who obeys the words of prophecy in this book."

I will be praying for you.

Your Brother in Christ,

Jon

Thank you so much! I got tears in my eyes as I read this. This morning I woke up wishing I could leave this country. Get away from all I've known and all that keeps pulling me down and all the hurt that I get every day and every time I see him again. I'm not sure it's a matter of him not wanting to see me because he's hurt. I think it's just me. I will tell you more, if you're willing to listen. PM me, I'm not sure where to start.

Thank you for your encouraging words. I really needed that today and they will go with me throughout my day.

Philippians 3:13 But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
