Over the past few years, I've lost quite a few friends. Some where like an extension to my own family and others just drifted. Now, I don't know if I was at fault for any of these "break ups." I was never told why we weren't friends anymore. I got to thinking about it last night, I haven't lost any sleep over it, but I do wonder what happened. I do wonder how they are doing from time to time. If I do see these old friends, and try to talk, I just get shunned. How can I know if I had done something wrong, if no one says anything?? Last night, I was reading in Matthew and came along some verses that explain what to do if you do have a problem with someone.
Matthew 18:15-17
15. Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Matthew 18:21-22
21. Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22. Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
So, with saying that, if you have a problem with me, or if I've done you wrong, talk to me! Tell me what I did!
