The Moonwalk vs. The Running Man.


I used to hear about how when a person becomes saved that a lot of people that they previously hung around with would eventually disappear. Maybe I just didn’t pay attention, or maybe I thought that my friends would be there forever. I was wrong again, *y'all. One former friend who shall remain nameless made me feel as though I thought that I was better than her because I was saved, and that I quoted scriptures to her. She accused me of judging her, although this was not true at all, because if I had have judged this person on the things that she was doing at the time years ago I would have never ever befriended her (she had some issues *y'all) so obviously that dog didn’t hunt. The most difficult thing about this was that I had known this person for years. If someone would have told me years ago that this person would no longer be in my life anymore I would have called them an outright liar (amongst other things), because I thought this person was a true friend. I even pondered that maybe I was acting like I was better since I was saved. Well I spent a lot of moments in prayer over this issue. I even considered Moon Walking back into my old ways just a little so that she would still like me. Then it hit me like a brick, that is what the enemy wanted me to do, he is a master of manipulation. If you give him an inch, he will indeed become your ruler. I immediately called him a liar and put him back under my feet. If he conned the first woman into eating that apple,then what made me think I was exempt?
I finally came to the conclusion that a true friend will be happy for you and want you to soar higher, and a surface friend will want you to hang around in the shallow end of the pool with them. One of the hardest things that I had to do was to let that person go. When I finally did let her go, a lot of my blessings began to flow. That is when I realized that there are some people who will block (I call them Bless -Blockers) what God has in store for us because we can’t see past them. We want to please them when in actuality we should be pleasing GOD. If your friend wants you to do anything that takes you out of GOD’s will, then they are anything but a friend.

Warnings that someone may not be a true friend; if your friend says you should crawl before you walk, while they are running, if your friend constantly compares the things that you do to what they do, if your friend always talks about the bad things from your past, if your friend talks negatively behind your back to others, and if your friend tells everyone that they are the reason that you are saved because they bought you the bible (which was untrue). If you have someone like that hanging around you, you need to do the Running Man into a more positive direction because GOD is taking you places.

Can anyone out there relate?

Be Blessed *Y'all.
