These are some lessons that we all need to learn about friendships. I see so many unhappy people in our world who are struggling with one sided relationships. Sometimes they can become toxic to our relationship to the Lord. A selfish friendship that is out of balance and is one sided is not healthy. Remember it takes two to make a friendship work. If youre the only one trying to keep in touch and arrange meetings, it may be time to look at why. Friendships should flow and if youre the only one putting in effort, it may be time to take a step back. Theres nothing like a good night out with friends to give you a lift, but remember, ultimately you are responsible for your own happiness. Look within rather than externally to find what you need. Ultimately you know in your heart when it’s time to walk away. Letting go doesn’t mean you don’t care anymore, but that you love yourself more. Relationship are part of the branch that either needs to be pruned away if it is taking nutrition form the branch that is producing fruits or if it is a part of the branch that is producing fruits. John 15: 1-3 is very specific about the branch that is abiding in Christ. The Vine Dresser wants anything that is attached to us that is not being productive and that is sucking nutrition from us to be cut away and sometimes it will be painful as we need to heal and allow new stems of relationships be developed that will produce fruits on our branch that is abiding in Christ. Sometimes a good stem on the branch can be good for a season, but it has to be removed in order for us to grow new stems that will produce fruits while the are attached to our branch. Jesus is the True Vine that we choose to be attached to and allow him to be our life.
