An offended friend...

...is harder to win back than a fortified city Prov18:19

It is said that to win back a person’s friendship, trust and love is much much harder than a defended city. Win back it is. It’s not like he is a stranger that u are trying to build a relationship, but a friend to reconcile. Sometimes our self-centeredness may cost us of the trust and friendship we have for one another. Often, we would try to never hurt our friends because we know they are treasures. Once we lose them, we never have them back.

Our family, to most of us, is our advisor, comforter and friend. We love them most abundantly comparing to those of our friend. Nevertheless, we let our mindless words and action cause the gap between us. Usually we wouldn’t fill the crack we made between ourselves taking for granted that time will do its job. Now that’s because we know perfectly that we have their unconditional love and forgiving is not an option. So when we are unkind, we know that they'll still be there the next morning. Therefore we hurt them unconsciously and heartlessly.

The good thing is, since they know us like forever now, it’s easier for them to understand why we act or REACT the way we do. So they can love us again despite of our unreasonable..whatever..haha..well well, you must be guessing that I did something unkind rite? Yea I did, no need to guess. Even so, it’s still hard for me to say --I’m sorry.

*singing: sorry seems to be the hardest word...

Anyway, I don’t know, u might not have the kind of family background as ideal as u imagine. You don’t have to resent or blame sky-man(GOD). You can let go and learn to love yourself and others too. You are not lucky enough to be born in such a family, but you have the opportunity to create THE ideal family. Allow your children the opportunity to live in a good family background and at the same time, give yourself a chance to build one.*winks

Love yourself so that others know how to love you. *draw a heart*
