I'm sorry you are hurting. May you feel God's comfort. May He bless you with good friends in good numbers. I know she was precious to you but you are also precious. You did the right thing by loving and respecting yourself and not engaging with someone who won't reciprocate.

Update :

So I ran into a neighbor the other day who I haven't seen in a long time. We talked for a little and then she mentioned about a lady who asked about me who she saw a few months go at a restaurant. When she described her, I assumed it was my my ex friend. So if this was her (which I believe so), why is she asking a neighbor about me but not taking my calls/texts? Is she afraid to contact me now? Or was she being nosy, a phony, or a hypocrite? Now I'm getting questionable about her

Note : I have no clue how she knew my neighbor. That's a mystery. Unless she spotted us somehow sometime before in the past?

It’s possible to care for someone’s welfare but recognize your inability to relate in a healthy fashion. Her unwillingness to connect doesn’t mean your well-being isn’t a concern. She may be ill equipped to serve you in the manner you need most.

The Lord reconciled the connection I mentioned two weeks ago. She came up in my quiet time and the urgency alerted me to a problem. I discovered a close relative was ill and passed away two days later (after we spoke). She said I’d been on her mind.

He redeemed us for a purpose. Not solely for our wants and needs but the greater work He desires us to perform. We’re meant to glorify Him through our union. Its bigger than us.

I heard a song Sunday morning that drove this point home. It was uncharacteristic for me. I prefer a different genre. But its just like Him to provide a lesson through unexpected sources.

I posted the song and lyrics. Listen to the words. That’s the love you want to give and share with the people you’re connected with.

That was His message for me. Love flows like water. It moves around obstacles. It covers mistakes. Until you reach the place of love in this situation you’ll never have peace.

Your love can’t be contingent on her presence or willingness to meet your demands. You must be willing to love her just because.

I see what you mean but I still question myself about it. I'm thinking that she's either afraid to contact me or doesn't want to hurt me in terms that her family has told her not to contact me anymore.

I hope your doing well btw. And thank you for your response

Thank you. I’m doing well. :)

I think the best solution is commending this to Him. You can’t fix it and He knows what must be addressed on both sides. It may take several starts before you find your way. Or He may bring another to walk beside you instead.

Trying to figure things out will only cause anxiety and stress. You’ll be back on the cycle once more.
