Hello guest,

Sometimes I think love doesn't come naturally. It requires effort and initiative and somebody needs to make the first move.

I find that the same in my life. Sometimes I move out of my comfort zone, take some risks (not everyone will reciprocate nicely) and just reach out to someone else. It may be as simple as visiting someone in their home or asking them out for a drink or just giving someone a call. I find that by doing this, I've gained a few friends.

Maybe there are others who are feeling the same way as you do and they need someone to reach out to them. Why don't you ask God who you can reach out to? Start something. Pray over it and tell God, "send me".

One thing that I have learned from Jesus when people turn their back on me and if the relationship cannot be reconciled is to move on.

[Matthew 10:14]
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

I've learned also to look at things in a different manner. I may have lost some relationships, but I have gained some others too. I learn not to let the bad relationships affect me too much and concentrate on the new relationships that I NOW have. I try to focus on what God has given me more than what I think I have lost.

Not sure whether that makes sense to you. But that is my loving opinion to you, my sister.

As we grow older and learn more of the world (the good and bad even of Christians), I believe that God gives us more wisdom and a greater capacity to handle all kinds of relationships. And I have learned to seek God's wisdom and discernment in relationships.

[Phil 1:9]
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more
and more in knowledge and depth of insight

I wish the same for you.

Father in Heaven,

I lift up this sister to You. Holy Spirit, Your Name is Comforter. I pray that You comfort this sister and fill her with such joy and a revelation of all the things that You have given her. I pray that You will send good things her way and You fulfill Your Word that You are our Shepherd and truly we will have no lack. I pray that this sister will learn to love but with discernment and learn to handle the risks of relationships.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.
