Need help with a pal

[GaelSong]

I have a friend who has deceived others into believing I have done things that are blatantly false. I love this person and she is a dear friend of mine. I really am at a loss as to what to do...I now have the mistrust of several members of my church although many stand by my innocence, knowing me well enough to see I am not as I have been portrayed.

I have prayed and prayed about this and it's concerning me, not for my reputations sake but because it shows obvious duplicity in my friend.

Can anyone share how I can mend bridges as I am not comfortable asking her back into my home as things stand. She has a mental disability which could have been a contributing factor.

doesn't sound like a very good friend. I would pray for her and just be careful around her, especially if she is unrepentant.

maybe talking on the phone is helpful, following Matthew 18:15 (in spirit if not in letter), talk to her privately, or maybe with some witnesses other friends with you, etc. if she totally is seen as not friendly, I would back away from her after that, not treat her like an enemy, but as one in need of salvation

Dear XxKingsKidxx


Why should you carry a load you didn't create???


Forgive her and move on as if it never happened. Mark it up as helping the mentally disabled.


Might as well get a BLESSING out of it!!!

ALWAYS REMEMBER:

“ Believe “ in Greek is a verb and has three components which are: hearing, accepting, and then acting ( COMMITING ) upon that which you have accepted.

Sorry to hear about that I have been in your shoes unfortunately... too!

Mental illness is to be blamed in most cases and/or maliciousness.

Please know you are in my prayers. May God heal that individual and help you seek comofort in knowing IT IS NOT YOUR DOING and shake away your guilt.

God bless,
Philothei

I would give you rep if I could... Thanks for giving purpose to suffering, not that I believe otherwise but the way you made your point makes a lot of sense.
