RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS

No, this is not your ordianry boy-girl-relationship, like what you people usually will think. This is more focused on friendships (:

Jealousy, envy, greed, gossips, stress, etc etc

All this can cause relationship problems or be caused by them as well.

For example:
-You noticed your close friend confiding in someone else, you'll get hurt and disappointed at the fact that your close friend trusts somebody else instead of you. You'll definitely be jealous also right?

-Having a close friend can be a double edged sword. You'll have to overlook their failures and tolerate teir successes. Even if you are very close, you might experience a little of envy if your close friend does better than you or have achieved more things than you right?

-This can lead to greed or a thirst of power, where you want to achieve greater things and positions and excel higher than others, even if it's your closest friend.

-Because of your character, gossips will spread. People will talk bad about you and thus, more and more people will come to dslike you. What's more, if you can't take the stress from the work you are getting because of your high position, it will be a double blow with people separating themselves from you.

This is all a chain.
That is why we must practise the fruit of the Spirit.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
Galatians 5:22

Friends are the foundation of our emotions.
As we enter our teenage life, friends matter more than anything else.
We share our happiness together and our pain and sorrows together.
We go through thick and thin together.
If we have issues with them, it's just like, support is all gone.

But..
We musn't forget God as well.
He is afterall, the best support we can ever have.
And our best friend att that! (:


Last long with friends.
&last long with God.
