Welcome to the Part 2 :

A friend loves at all time…

As I string these words together, I recall a recent experience with a close “friend”. One of those things… like we say back then, “you aren’t yet friends if you’ve never disagreed/quarreled”. If you’ve never been offended by a friend then watch out cos it could be closer than you think…laughs! In whatever relationship you’re, there is the need for you to come to terms with reality-offences will come!

It takes love and maturity to forgive/overlook offences and continue in any kind of relationship. Many people have been hurt and a lot will still be hurt­-not a curse but the reality of live. The earlier you accept the fact that, no one is perfect, the better for you and your relationship.

The reason hurt exists is to test the strength of that relationship- forgiveness comes first in the dictionary, so practice advance forgiveness. A mother won’t throw away her suckling child for biting her breast while breast feeding him/her, so never because of an offence put an end that relationship, except you are so convinced it CANNOT work again. Forgiveness is an attribute of champion.

Even the hand stringing these words together is not exempted, we need to make things right (never stop forgiving). As I ponder on the word in the above statement again, it suggests to me that-Love in friendship should be a continuous action just like the verb. Friendship is a commitment that demands the energy all the parties involved. Like the common saying, “it takes two to tango”. But you must realize that not all friendship last forever. Let me close with the words of a friend and colleague, Taiwo;

I use to be scared of loosing friends, now I concede, friends are for different seasons. You lose some, you gain some.

But remember, NEVER end any relationship with hurt, please FORGIVE. I care about your happiness.
