teenage life

Greetings earthlings! Our topic for the day is about friendship and relationships we value or for some reason, neglect a few whether it’s intentionally or an outcome of a certain conflict or misunderstanding. Well, beyond any doubt, almost everyone of us have their own peers right? It just differs from its number and how long have you been so imminent to each other.

Well, for you, how do you define friendship? For several people, friends are their second family who they can turn to at all times and it’s to whom they seek advice and one of the people they desire to be with by any means. On the other hand, some people, for a specific reason, just tend to take advantage of their chums’ capabilities for their own benefit and if they find you humdrum already, they would just simply leave you and act as if they never been a part of your life.

Furthermore, you might be wondering where I’m coming from and what crossed my mind for me to come up with this blog post about this matter, yes? Well, even before, I already have diverse encounters about friendships and relationships As what I’ve mentioned here, I’ve immensely experienced bullying since Grade 2, right? Having said that, I had divergent encounters on being ignored, running after people that don’t value as much as I do, being taken advantage of, people suddenly leaving me and such. And at present, I still do encounter those kinds of people.

And not just for me, but I bet for all of us, when friendships ends suddenly, whether you know the reason or not, it tends to cause you pain and you feel like questioning yourself where did you lack for that friend to leave you, right? Well, all we have to do is seek help and trust God for He is our best friend. (Psalms 46:1-3 – God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with surging.)

Furthermore, though I have a friend right now whom I’ve been close for more than a year and she “suddenly” ignored (and ignoring) me for no apparent reason, I would still continue loving her as much as I do before. (Proverbs 17:17)

I strongly suggest that you do the same with yours, dearies! 🙂

Well, summer is about to end. And since I’m just laying around le house, well.. I’m currently uhmm.. feeling that my insecurities are taking over and filling up and yes. I know, as a Christian, I may sound like I’m not thankful and it’s like I’m underestimating how He created me. Multifarious of you might not understand where I’m coming from and why I’m acting this way.

Well, to cut the story short, since when I was in second grade back then, I was bullied until I graduated from HS, this had gone on and on and on. Furthermore, this caused me to question myself and God, as well. On why did my life turned out like this. Why do I need to run after people just for them to notice and appreciate me. Just for them not to leave me alone. Divergent thoughts hurled into my mind as everybody criticize me and underestimate my weaknesses and capabilities. As I experienced being hated, disgusted and a laughing stock among our section and excessively deceived by the guys I used to adorn. Did things a girl don’t normally do for a guy that should be in the other way around. And on that specific phase of my life, I was so weak, have no one to turn to and feel like giving up.

And now, though the bullying had finally stopped, I still experience being the less liked among our clique at times, being ignored by the people I love that resulted fo me to look like a lame dog running after people just for them to notice and appreciate me and many more.

But then, how was I different from before? Well, as what I’ve mentioned before, I was a born again Christian, right? Before, I must say, I’m much of a Pseudo-Christian. Christian by name but acts like an unbeliever. However, after I undergone a one year bible college/training on our church back in 2010, I was enlightened and divulged with the goodness of our Most High. O:)

I waded through the fact that when faced with trials and when we flick through bad times, when we seek His face and let our souls be filled with His word, then we already have a weapon against trials! ( Ephesians 6:17- Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.) And when we do, we will blessed in everything we do. (James 1:25- But the man who looks intently in the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it – he’ll be lessed in what he does.) When in doubt (James 1:6-8), we must buckled down and persistent in standing firm in the Lord (Excerpt from Isaiah 7:9- If you don’t stand firm in your faith, you’ll not stand at all.; 2 Cor 1:24) When faced with fears, we shouldn’t hesitate to ask for His help. After all, He is our Jehovah Shalom, the Prince of Peace. We shouldn’t be afraid for He’s always there to help us. (Lamentations 3:56-57).

Hereafter, we should also goad and fortify each other (2 Sam 22:29-31; Hebrews 10:22-24) and we should trust God even we can’t find any reason to, just like how Abraham did. ( Romans 4:18-22) Besides, we believe in Him thouh we haven’t seen Him. (Hebrews 11:1- Now, faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.)

In conclusion, we should never reckon and think that we’re alone for God’s never gonna leave us nor forsake us. On top of everything, nothing can seperate us from His unfailing love.

(Romans 8:38-39- For I am convinced that neither death or life, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.)
