My own series of unfortunate events

It all started innocently enough. I can honestly say, out of all the possible life altering outcomes, the end result was something I was totally unprepared for. Life is funny like that. Curve balls are randomly thrown to spice things up a bit. What begins as simply fun quickly becomes unplanned complexities and life altering.
Friendship can be that way. When you begin a friendship, it often is not premeditated. A random meeting of two strangers, an innocent conversation, a connection...the rest of the story is determined on the events that follow. The days, weeks, months, and years that follow. Each conversation a building block for the growing relationship. A blossom of beauty with no thorns in sight.
Reality is the thorns are right there, under the blooms and leaves. Thorns are a very real part of all relationships, and its how the thorns are dealt with that determines the result.
Christians are taught forgiveness and love without end. Jesus lived that way.  Families stay together with the glue that Jesus provided, love and forgiveness, and ultimately friendships are tested by these also.
When a friendship fails the test, and love and forgiveness are no longer enough, one of the people must choose to severe the bond. The one severed is left feeling broken, used, and forgotten. It is a desolate feeling. Many more people have experienced this than we realize, because it is this result that causes a person to retreat into themselves and fear all other relationships will subsequently finish the same way. This thought process is common, and yet a large misconception. Each individual must choose love and forgiveness...Jesus.....OR bitterness and grudges...Satan. It truly is so black and white afterwards, and yet during the unfortunate event of a severed friendship, ones thoughts are focused on that pain, that friends rejection, the lies...
Detoxification of the mind can repair the damage done by a severed friendship. Gods word has truths that will heal. He is the final answer. Take it from one who experienced it firsthand.
