There's a guy I know, a friend of mine. I haven't been the kindest person to him. I have made mistakes and I have apologized. He obviously still is wary on everything and feels my actions may continue. But, all though he listens when I tell him my feelings still haven't changed he seems to not hear me. I don't know how to get him to see that I am leading my heart not letting it lead me...

I suppose only time will tell, and prayer. I hope the Lord will restore the friendship we had before,better it and lead us closer....this is what I want, and praying for patience to show my heart what God wants for me and the friendship we have.

vent over

You are rambling, you are not coming to the point. But the major question is, how can God use me for His purpose.

I think of the many time I have failed to be the best person God could use. It has usually been based on my lack of putting His word in my mind.

vents are good sometimes..........and praying for patience and understanding is always good........but, did you misstate/mistype your OP statement? Reason I ask is that it reads.......

haven't been the kindest person to him.

when I tell him my feelings still haven't changed he seems to not hear me



If you were not kind to him, and your feelings haven't changed, then it's probably a good thing if he is a bit wary right?

AprilAngel sometimes people will put up with being treated unkind just to get along ,but then they will get tired of it and with that they no longer trust you. so you have to try and earn his trust again because that is the only way things will work out and make it a habit to be kinder to him. so when you pray say both of your names in prayer

we all have to vent sometimes
