Remove the Jealous People

Do not waste your time on jealous people who have no interest in sharing life with you. There are plenty of others around us who need and appreciate us and whom we appreciate, we just have to pray that the Lord show us who.

A shared life is one in which two people care about the things of the other. When someone shows interest they are a friend, when they act indifferent and bored about our life and will not share theirs with us, then that is the time to move on to others who are interested.

Don't be unhappy when someone lacks interest, let them go and be there for someone else.

Proverbs 18:24 "24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother."

Don't be worried if you have no friends or only one friend, Christ is always with us, our best friend. One friend is all you need!

I have watched those who have many friends, they never become close to any of them. They have many because their is shallowness to their soul. One can know a lot of things and do a lot of things and still be lacking in spiritual and emotional depth.

There is a very foolish saying that the world thinks is right that is; "one can tell the quality of ones life by how many friends they have." Sadly there are those who think this is true. Some of the most horrible people have many friends.

If we are walking with Christ we will lose friends, often isolated from family who have contempt for us and even be gossiped about because we do not dance to everyone else's drummer.

James 1:2-8
Profiting from Trials
"2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."

The focus of those who walk with Christ is Him, not how popular one can become in this world.

Luke 6:25-26 "25 Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way."
