After reading some Bible quote such as: Do not envy wicked men. Do not desire their company."
and articles, but my post count isn't big enough to post them. But the first one basically says we should cut ourselves off from unbelievers, the second has many Bible quotes about not being friends with unbelievers, and the third not to have a CLOSE relationship with unbelievers.
I felt I had to cut myself off from my unbelieving family (who are also friends) and friends, and I miss my mum so much. We had fun together, and I did with my brother as well. I don't think they believe. I miss my mum's reassuring hugs and her making a fuss of me and reading and playing with me. I miss playing with my brother, too.
How much should I cut myself off from them? I miss them. And I also will go on to explain about my friends - I've lost them, too. I'm not sure what to do. I feel so lonely. I know I have the Father to talk to. But I'm having trouble talking to Him. It feels so hard to believe He is there. I know I should try making Christian friends, but they know well, my family, and my friends to a certain extent. My family don't know about me trying to find God, which should be the most important thing, and I'm ashamed but it just seems hard to tell them...some of my friends don't know, either, but I wouldn't mind them knowing. It's just, I was friends with a Muslim, used to be friends with an atheist, who I wanted to be friends with again but now feel I can't, a girl who says she is Christian but believes "good" people go to heaven, a girl who I THINK is a Christian but not so sure, but she's gone to live somewhere else and I talked to her cousin for a bit who might be a Christian but I don't know... and the one I am about to mention
I have a friend who I love. She isn't against the idea of God, she sort of wants to find Him - like me; I'm not sure I've found God yet. I can't really tell her about God, though, due to my own struggles - and also, I'm not completely sure Christianity is right. Although I believe more than I don't believe that Christians are saved, I don't want to lead anyone the wrong way. Even if you are a Christian, I'm sure you understand that, even though you think you know better, that I wouldn't want to lead anyone the wrong way, like you wouldn't want to lead someone to a different religion, for example.
But she doesn't believe entirely. I love her a lot. She is kind. She's struggling with her own troubles. And she's an internet friend, but I still love her (as a friend)...in fact, all the people I consider friends are internet friends. But I love them still.
She's really been struggling, and I feel bad because I haven't talked to her for ages. I used to think I was a nice friend to her, always asked her how she was, wrote huge messages telling her how gorgeous she was, (but are our looks all equal? =s Why is it some people aren't happy with their looks - like me for example...is not God's creation perfect, or did it get spoilt in some way?) how kind she was, how clever, etc.
I really want to help her still. I would go on, pray to the Father I did the right thing in advising her, and talk to her, and not get too close again, for now...but the thing is, I called her my bestfriend. I think I told her I'd never abandon her - and if not talking to her for - I don't know how long - is abandoning her, then I have (Is it okay to promise, as long as we don't break it? Because I thought swearing by something was bad and our yes should be yes and our no should be no). When I next go on to talk to her, if I say to her "I am here for you, but you're not my bestfriend... (when I say bestfriend, I mean bestfriend after God, family, equal to some other friends)" it'll upset her. I know I should do what God wants first, but does He want me to leave the close friendship? She relies on me, or she did, before I stopped talking to her for a while. She suffers in lots of ways. Also, she used to help me feel better with my suffering - which I have been for some while. If I leave her, I'll feel bad. If I don't, I'll feel bad. What does God want? I miss her. But I need to do what He wants first.
Then, I don't know what to do about my other friends...the girl I wrote about, I could write just as much for my other friends. I could write much more about how I love them. Then, my family, I could write for...I don't know how long, how much, but I love them SO much. I miss them.
