“Please don’t let go of me I need you” “I miss you.” “I want things to go back to normal.” “I miss my best friend” ” But I love you…”
I watched my best friend give me a hug and walk into her house on the night everything changed. (I’m not ready to talk about that yet. But, The Lord is changing my heart to get closer to that every day.) I clung to her emotionally like glue. Not sure what I would do if she became nonexistent in my life. I couldn’t imagine it and I would fight to the death to keep her as wound up in my life as I could. I would not go down without a fight. “God I don’t understand! Why do you want me to feel so alone”
That night started such a change. I didn’t know then but God was doing what he does best. Controlling our lives so we are exactly where we need to be. Never did I think hearing “I’m over it” wouldn’t bother me at all. I always thought hearing those words would shatter my 1000x broken heart even more. But it didn’t. Because in the months between that night and hearing those words God did some incredible things.
“You used to say you had 2 best friends now you don’t talk to either of us” ” God works in mysterious ways” ” I never would have been able to let go without God” “everything happened for a reason”
I heard my perspective change as the words popped out of my mouth. I didn’t type them but they sure made themselves known. God had taken a cry and plea for help and did what he needed to. He went as far as helping open my heart to fully KNOW him and take him into my life. I even got baptized!! Back then I was searching for something. I thought my husband didn’t give it to me, I thought I needed the emotional connection with my best friend, and I was still longing. He fixed everything I was supposed to have and let the rest slip out of my life to help make ways for bigger and better things to arrive. He changed my perspective on life. I no longer need to look to others to fill the longings of my heart. He was healing in the pain and shelter into storm. He restored my soul. “Amazing grace how sweet the sound! It covers every part of me. My soul is silent I am found!”

God’s a pretty sneaky character about that! LOL I say that because He knows what we need and does everything He can to show us what we need too. I’m so glad He changed your perspective because THAT change of perspective allows you to keep #movingforward

Thank you for sharing you heart! So many of us hold on to things or people because we think we need them to feel better and to feel fulfilled. I know I have done this many times. It is always so painful to have them ripped out of your life, but when it is God doing it the blessing after is so much greater than what we had before. A friend of mine told me once that God puts people in our lives for a reason and takes them out for a reason. It took me along time to fully understand that. You are in my prayers and I am so blessed to know that God has restored your life!! He is amazing!!!

I love that saying and I tell everyone!! I finally asked God to remove all the negative and negative people from my life. When I left it up to him he did just what I had asked! I was left with just about no friends lol but he filled me back up with positive people and positive things!

Thank you for sharing! God changed my perspective definitely!
I used to have a very verbally abusive boss. I couldn’t understand why
God would have me go through this! Fast forward a few years it makes sense now!!!
He wanted me to learn what not to tolerate and he gave me the strength to find a MUCH
Better job. He also gave me strength to deal with other personality types. He changed my perspective that I am not a victim and I am worthy!

Thank you for sharing your story. I have been in a place where I relied too much on my best friend for everything, that I had lessened my relationship with God, and he had to break me of that. Moved my friend away from me so that I would see that I needed to look to and rely on Him. Thankfully He is there with us through what we think is the worst and turns it into good for us! 🙂
