Grieving the Loss of a Good Friend... | Let’s Talk About Friendship Breakups

[@crisslee123]

I recently went through this last year. And I was taught a valuable and beautiful lesson from the lord. Sometimes as we journey through our different chapters to get to the fulfillment of God's purpose in our life we pick up characters along the way. Some of these characters can feel like they'll last a lifetime especially if you're in chapter two or three. But now as you journey along your about to approache chapter 7 and there's no room in that chapter for them and slowly their character in your story of that chapter fades. The only person that's required to walk with you throughout your time on this Earth is your spouse. anyone else is a gift from the lord. As wonderful as a friend Jonathan was his chapter ended right before David took the throne as king. Jonathan was instrumental and played a valuable role in David life and was a destiny helper. Just like some of our past relationships we have to remember that these people were once destiny helpers and we were that way to them as well. But when the Lord wants to do a shift and is taking you somewhere, they cannot go where you are going. You both have distinct and different purposes on this earth. Bringing someone from your chapter 4 and 5 into chapter 7 and 8 will only put you out of alignment and it can push your destiny helpers out of the way in your new chapter. let us give all of our relationships to the Lord and let the Lord choose who he wants in our seasons. May this bless you all in Jesus name

This is was perfect! I actually think this helped me more than the video! Thank you for reminding me that God is always in control! ❤

[@gionagrace6279]

Always remember the poem.....people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Trust and believe!! GOD KNOWS BEST...ALWAYS❤❤❤❤

Wow! I am currently going through this , it truly hurts so much. And it’s only been a few months but the wound is still there . My significant other is there but it’s nothing like losing a friend . The recovery hurts even more than the initial split . Thank you for posting this video! Honestly God is using you to speak to my heart.

Same here feeling anxiety …

Character is developed in these situations and seasons 🔥💯

I know this is 2 yrs past when this was posted. However, this proves that God is faithful to provide what we need, when we need it! I knew my feelings were real and God is the only one that can heal me and use this painful breakup for my good. As hard as divorce was from a very unhealthy relationship, this was so much more painful because I know there was a heart connection with my friend that I had never experienced with anyone! I still don't understand it, but I do trust God's plan for my life and hers. Thank you so much for this video and may God continue to get the glory out every situation in our lives. Praying for DELIVERACE IN THE PAIN!

I got married and loss two best friend, it hurts at first but God had a plan

[@printempsjoh]

Same

[@frederquejackson5409]

Yes, that happened to me back in 2019. I thought out bond was unbreakable but something caused the rift that was stronger than communication, love, and transparency that we had. I continue to pray for them but I had to let go and let God handle it.

[@lamar4333]

You said that! I’ve never heard it like this before. Time does not heal God does

[@je39981]

I would like to add, I was watching your instagram story and it seemed like something was weighing heavy on your heart. I pray that God brings you peace through each circumstances you face. From my experience, I had to walk away from a 9 year friendship because I felt as if I was taken for granted. It was a best friend of mine and it was a tough decision. I appreciate the growth I experienced during the friendship; however, it's vital that I recognize my worth and set boundaries. I had empathy for her and knew that the news I shared wasn't going to be easy. There isn't any hard feelings on my end and I made sure to walk away in peace.

[@tiffanylawson7101]

I needed this. That prayer was it. Thank you

[@LoriBothwell]

Lord Jesus found this for me and to hear a sister in Christ + speak about going through this heartbreak herself but and to rise above it. ❤The word and His promises soothe my soul 🙏

[@mmeyenemaurice9133]

This video is timely. Time does not heal all wounds. Am going through something now. Its even worse if you see the person often. Cos the memories. Prayer and fasting. Thank you.

[@rosemarienarcisse4756]

Hey Gabby! Great video! God is our Best Friend🕊❤️👍🏽

[@shirlenewilcher1415]

I know how you feel I been their! There are so I know how you are feeling but. Some friendships are for a season and there are some that last a lifetime. When the Lord is getting ready to move you to another level in ministry there are those individuals that cannot go they will not understand so they started distant in themselves sometimes it could be out of jealousy not knowing what is in store for you sometimes it's just wanting to be you when God gives you a gift. Let God lead and guide you marriage is a ministry there are those that is not single will not understand that your priority is first God and then your spouse. The Lord will give you new friends that will understand your destiny keep praying keep fasting keep looking up it will work out ♥️

I recently lost a really close friend. Being very introverted she made me actually feel like a person and she understood me as i did her. She had such sweet positive energy. She never turned her back on me. She was literally nicest caring person i have met. Im so hurt i miss her. Ive never missed someone more in my life. And the fact that i know we wont be seeing each other anymore has me wanting to die. Im so depressed.

[@Yoshiyuki.]

I'm sorry to hear that. I understand you😭. Hope u are doing well.

[@reneemartin6857]

Hi Gabby thank you so much for such an encouraging word of forgiveness. I so agree that we have to forgive ourselves first and then everything will workout the way God has planned and has ordained . Be blessed 🙌

[@uphakemesitholumusa5900]

Wow Amen am so thankful for this video 😢 it’s very heartwarming

[@DianaRosa-xf3qs]

You are so special! Keep going you really helped me by speaking the truth and sharing the love you have ❤ namaste🙏🏾

[@geebee1514]

Could be because you got married. Could be because you married a white man. Could be because they're jealous and envious of your blessings. Could be because they desired Zack, but he chose you. Could be you're flourishing and growing leaps and bounds...and they aren't. Could be because there is a reason for everything. Could be because God allowed the friendship for only A SEASON. Could be we were just not meant to be BFF's. Could be because God is separating the wheat from the tares. Could be because everybody that come with you, can't go with you. Chile, it will hurt for a while, but life goes on. It's something we have to accept. If they coupd easily walk away from the friendship, then they weren't really a friend. Pray for them and keep it moving💜

[@kristlelangeveld2023]

needed this. thank you 🥹🙏🏽

[@lortpls]

This is on time !

[@betsyd4218]

Omg this is perfect! I was hoping someone has experienced this but this is specific to what I was going through. Thank you. I had a friend a best friend who was dear to me, I told her about everything. She understood and she was there for me. Until a time she found a job, and somehow she talked to me less without explanation and decided to not be my friend anymore. Without really talking to me about what the problem was. I see it as she’s not the friend who will be there for better or for worse. But thank God I’m happy now, but I’m no longer feeling how I felt before.

[@sharonmullings4085]

Great video btw

[@kimberlythompson16]

I’ll be okay. If it’s God’s plan then i know I’ll be okay.

[@DearFutureDaughters]

I scrolled past this video last year when you made it because it didn’t really apply to me, but now (since mid December), I’ve been dealing with this exact situation, it feels more like the tearing of a friendship soul tie (like David me Johnathan in the Bible) thank you for sharing Gabby🫶🏼🥹
