I want to say thanks to anyone who's decided to look over this thread. This isn't a big request, but it's something that I'm having a hard time getting over and I need a little strength here.
Since I started my classes last year, I meet this certain girl that overtime I grown attached to. We became good friends and eventually close to be considered a relationship beyond a friendship. I really like her.
Then that's where problems arises. My mind was drawn away from God and I allowed my deceitful heart to lead. I began to constantly think about her to a point where my joy was based on her happiness. If she was feeling depressed, I would feel the same, etc. This was going on for almost 6 months.
It wasn't until recently that the Holy Spirit reminded where my place was and who I am in Christ. I was able to redirect mind, but my heart is on the fence. The bible says that my heart and mind are suppose to one with the Holy Spirit, and yet, my heart has reminded me of my strong feelings I have for her.
Lately, as much as it pains me, I've been treating her as a friend, hoping that my feelings can return back before the attachment started. However, I feel as though this cannot happen because of all that has happened. That my choices are to remain in this relationship and ignore God or lose her completely and deal with the loss.
She's an awesome person and is definitely someone that doesn't deserve to be hurt. It was my fault that I let this get as far as it should.
Bottom line, I pray that the Holy Spirit will help me find the best solution. To remove these affections but maintain a friendship if possible.
Thanks and God Bless
