Anonymous responds to posting  ‘He Broke Up With Me Because I Think I Talked About God Too Much

Hi its me again. Thanks for the comforting words they really helped me alot. Theirs only one thing left I have to ask you about. Me and my ex have a friend together and that friend is my ex’s best friend. I have not seen him since we broke up and all of a sudden that friend is showing up at my house again wanting to hang out with me. From my understanding our friend spends plenty of time with my ex. Why does he want to hang out with me all of a sudden? I do remember before me and my ex started to go out together that friend kinda had a crush on me. Any way every time our friend comes over my house he talks about the past when my ex and I went out. He always brings it up. Matter of fact when I read your wonderful response to my question he was knocking at my door then. Lol. He is a good friend but I don’t want him going back to my ex and telling him what I say. After reading your letter I had made up my mind to tell my ex completely go, but it seems as if satan is trying to draw me back in by this friend of ours. Before I wrote you the first question about whether or not I should let my ex go, my friend came over and his mom and my mom were joking around and I said to him tell my ex to stop acting weird. He actually told my ex that and yesterday came and told me that he had told my ex that. I had forgotten that I had even told him that. Of course my ex had to say something about it. He said ex’s are suppose to be weird around each other. I had taken your advice and had officially let him go and as fast as I had did that. I feel as if I’ve been sucked back in what is going on?

Well sister,

I believe that you have not stood your ground. You’re getting sucked back in because you are allowing yourself to be influenced by this mutual friend. You said yourself that you feel that satan is trying to draw you back by this friend. These are the verses that come to my mind:

Hebrews 12:1-2 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, LET US STRIP OFF EVERY WEIGHT THAT SLOWS US DOWN, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. WE DO THIS BY KEEPING OUR EYES ON JESUS, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith..”

1 Corinthians 10:12-13 “If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, HE WILL SHOW YOU A WAY OUT SO THAT YOU CAN.

This break up is way too fresh. You are still very hurt by everything that happened between you and your ex. This is a time to draw close to the Word of God and away from anything that will hinder your healing and the renewing of your mind. I think you need to strip off every weight that is slowing your healing down and is only hindering you spiritually and emotionally. This friendship seems to be a hindrance to you. So separate yourself from it. If you know that is the way out that the Lord is showing to take then don’t ignore the Holy Spirit or you will fall.

Keep your eyes on Jesus (the Word of God). That is where your strength will come from. Read Psalm 119. It is a long psalm, but it is so encouraging and enlightening. I am sure that it will minister to you.
My sister please forget about this relationship and focus on your relationship with Christ Jesus. Get rooted in the Word of God. All your roots to grow down deep into God’s love. That is what will keep you strong. I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. Then Christ will make His home in your heart AS YOU TRUST IN HIM. (Ephesians 3:14-21)

I will be praying for you sister,

Sincerely,

Trophy of Grace
