You may find one that really ministers to your heart about your relationship with your friend in the pit of sin. We sure don't want to fall in that pit with them, but it is hard to get out of a pit. Your friend needs someone now more than ever. Prayer can help. Writing a note to her and giving her a word of TRUTH will help. You won't make any friends speaking TRUTH, but eventually she will know you are a TRUE friend because you were willing to risk your friendship to help her. <BR/>The story of the good samaritan is a really good story about our relationships with people and just exactly who is a good neighbor.<BR/>Beth Moore has written a book titled "Get Out of That Pit" that might help you have more insight concerning your friend. Here's an address to a source for this book but your library probably has it, too. Read the excerpt from the site:<BR/><BR/>http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=455529&kw=get_out_of_the_pit&event=PPCSRC&p=1018818&cm_mmc=Google-_-Titles-_-get%20out%20of%20that%20pit-_-get%20out%20of%20the%20pit&gclid=CKbTifudxJgCFRRhnAodqTk_1w#curr<BR/><BR/>Long link but I just thought you might want to read some excerpts. You can search for the book and find more info.<BR/><BR/>You are a precious, Godly young woman and I am so glad you know right from wrong and choose to live the right way. The Holy Spirit lives in you. Your friend may not be so fortunate. Pray hard for her to be saved. She needs Jesus.<BR/><BR/>May God bless you with His Spirit directing you and giving you a heart like His. Christ is our example. May He touch your heart by His Spirit as you follow Him.twinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522192646526647165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650278082785688658.post-4820631474316476432009-01-30T19:57:00.000-05:002009-01-30T19:57:00.000-05:00Here's a few more that talks about letting GOD han...Here's a few more that talks about letting GOD handle it:<BR/>Philippians 4:13<BR/>I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me.<BR/>Proverbs 3:5-6<BR/>Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.<BR/>I love you and I hope these words of encouragement help!!

I wish I could help but the only thing I can think of to do is pray for you and this situation and let GOD take care of everything!! I will pray for you and always remember that I LOVE you!!! And nothing ABSALOUTLY NOTHING can change that!!! Just pray and let God handle the rest and if you feel like he's leading you to do something, pray about it one more time and if you keep feeling that urge that's what GOD wants YOU to do!! I LOVE YOU KK!!!!! Miss you & I am & will pray for you whenever I get a chance! Remember to pray & let GOD handle it! Don't try to handle it on your own because we are nothing without GOD!<BR/>1 Corinthians 14:31<BR/>For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.<BR/>I love you and here's another<BR/>Philippians 1:3-4<BR/>I thank my GOD upon every remembrance of you,<BR/>always in every prayer of mine making request for you be with joy.<BR/>I love you!!

Sometimes you will be asked to say the hard things and other times you will told to stay quiet.<BR/>But if you feel led to speak up, ALWAYS speak the truth in love.<BR/><BR/>As far as remaining friends with someone who is making bad decisions, it's realy their decision not yours. Because when you say to that person, "I love you and care about you but I don't agree with the decisions you are making because...." They will either respect you for your honesty and treasure your friendship even more or they will get offended and want to end the friendship.<BR/><BR/>I love you dearly!<BR/>Cheryl<BR/>1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Pretty much covers your whole dilemma!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365877790738634422noreply@blogger.com
