Everybody has had to learn a hard lesson or two at some point in their lives. When you reach adulthood you discover that the world isn’t quite as easy of a place as your parents made it appear. Then there’s the lesson of learning that the world isn’t full of all good people or discovering that everybody in your circle isn’t really in your corner. But one of the hardest lessons that some people have had to learn is that every one you call family doesn’t have your best interest at heart.
When you think of family you think of the people who are supposed to love you no matter what. You imagine they’ll be the first on the scene if you needed support or that they’ll be in your corner during your trials. But unfortunately, for some, this is not the case. Family can sometimes be your worst enemy.
There have been many times over the years that I’ve had to swallow this bitter truth. However, I did not allow it to deter me or throw me off my life journey and neither should you. Instead I learned to love them in spite of. As disappointing as it has been, I keep myself at peace by loving them from a distance.
Do you know that God will give you a great circle of friends that you can call family? When you need them, you won’t have to question whether they will be there. You won’t have to question whether their love for you is true because they will put their love to action. I know because that’s what He did for me. He gave me the family that I wanted and needed by way of my friends.
No one has to be alone in this world. No one has to go feeling unloved. Sometimes it’s just necessary that you look outside of your familial circle. There are friends waiting to love you like a sister or brother. Go out and create your own circle. Surround yourself with like-minded people who have your best interests at heart.
