Hi Mikaluvs <3 and MFFT Fans,
I posed this question on my personal page...
Question?
Should you try to reach out to someone or accept friendship from someone who you considered a very close friend but they did you dirty? (hence why you two are no longer friends). So I went to Facebook and asked my peeps and fans for some answers....
After you read them let me know what you think...
SMOOCHIES!!!
<3 Mika
Here are the answers:
Sugar n Salt look the same. If you do just be careful because it's hard to earn that trust. I can forgive but can't forget. I forgive because I don't want to block my blessings.
Yes.I had a similar situation. I forgave and we speak but no buddy buddy type thing. I'm just careful because I do like you said remember the BS
Only you can truly answer that. My opinion doesn't include the hurt your endured or know the depth of that friendship.
You can forgive but one never forgets. If you feel lead to give that person another chance be careful

That something you will have to figure out for yourself... People who do you dirty never really change, just change their tactics. I would just say stay aware.
How necessary is it to be friends with them? I've always believed when people show you who they really are, believe them. You can be cordial without being "friends". I don't take the word 'friend' lightly. I would say handle with a long handled spoon. I would not allow them freely back in my circle. We can forgive and forget but sometimes people dig their own graves. I would say 'proceed with caution'.
Well said! I was going to say this myself until I seen your post...accept I do not forget. LOL! I'm with you on that friend thing....it takes a lot for me to call one a friend and some need to learn the difference between associates and friends.
Hell no
Yes if God is tugging at your heart. Lots of factors to consider though: how long has it been, how bad the offense, is the other party remorseful, do u value their friendship? It is natural to be more careful/cautious this time around if u do decide to let said person in. People can and do change...but not ALL of them
Some people are not worth coming back into your circle no matter how long you knew each other
I can agree, but I also agree that people have different ideas of what they would cut somebody off for. Some people deserve a second chance. Others, not so much
You could try to work through it, but it will be awkward more than normal and I would be very careful. You can be friends but be aware that vulnerability in a friendship means you will--at some point--get hurt. How much you are willing to be hurt determines your level of friendship. God provides discernment through the Spirit on the depth you should explore. (Romans 12:18; Hebrews 12:14)
That's a call only you can make, love. But I will say that in my opinion, it depends on the circumstances. If the other person is genuinely sorry for what happened and is trying to make amends, then yes, I would accept their friendship, but I would make it clear that things will not be the same as they were before they did you wrong, and that it might never be. Accepting someone back into your circle doesn't mean nothing ever happened.
Forgive and keep it moving..you dont get a chance to burn me twice
Forgiven and keep it moving... Do it for your soul and to keep your mind at peace.
Good question Mika! Definitely one that a person has to fig out on their own. Been praying on a similar situation myself. Folks hurt you knowing full well that they have/are hurting you. If you forgive, you will never forget and things will prob never be the same.
I wouldn't. You parted ways for a reason.

Forgive from your heart and then keeping it moving.....
