“... The thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil… (Jeremiah 29:11)"

Only a few men think of other people in this manner, others are not concerned about your well-being or how you would survive when things go wrong. Some probably do not wish death for you initially, but when your presence or success starts to bother them, their only wish for you at that moment is to disappear from their sight or reach. Indirectly wishing, you did not exist that moment.

It’s sometime hard to fathom how the people you once trusted and gave your loyalty, commitment and devotion to, could ever think off feeding you off to the vultures of the earth. What happened to the bond you once shared? What happened to being there for each other when the tables turn around negatively?

Well, when this happens, you would then discover what you are capable of doing without them. This could turn out positively or negatively. Many times, it turns out to be negatively and the perpetrator in the picture doesn’t realize that whatever happened has taken a large part of its victim.

Getting into a trusted friendship or relationship which then ends up with heartbreaks, rejection or isolation from friends you once thought you had might look like a problem but it is not. What happens to you afterwards is the major problem. What decisions do you make at the end? Who do you run to for help?

Not everyone survives in this phase, especially when they are not surrounded with the right set of persons or fed with the information that can help regain their right state of minds and retrace their footsteps so they can move on in life.

Trusting and believing the words of men become a major issue.

“Why did God not save me when things were going wrong?”
Trust him, he reached and communicated with you in every way he could but you refused to adhere to his words or warnings, now you’ve turned your back on God too. How do you think you will get out of this state if you don’t believe In Man and God anymore?
It takes a lot of dedication through prayers, seed sowing, patience, showers of love, attention, and understanding to relate to people in this state.
Yet we just have to, for they are lost in a path we once walked through. You could guide them into loving and trusting again, as someone guided you when you were also lost.
Remember, these individuals who are lost could be us if we didn’t have the right friends. So be the right friend they need right now, reach out to someone who’s lost, you never know, you could be the all the light they need to find their way back home.
