I had a best friend whom I grew up with and her family
treated me as part of their family. I
truly cared a lot for my friend. Even during
our teen years, we spent much time together.
One summer we attended a camp and I noticed that most of the girls
started to dislike me for no apparent reason.
I just ignored them and continued to spend more time with my childhood
friend.
One night as I was outside playing a game with
another girl, I sat on the front step to rest.
As I sat there, I heard some girls talking. I decided to look through the front door
window to see who it was. It was my best
friend. She was talking to the other
girls against me. I was shocked to hear
her say those things about me. After
all, I thought we were best of friends.
This was when I then realized that my best friend was jealous of me. I slowly and quietly sat back down on the
porch. I never made my friend aware of
that night. She never knew I heard her. Even throughout our time at camp, I acted as though I never heard the conversation. I refused to hate or dislike
her for what she did, but I did realize I could no longer trust her.
I truly believe the LORD God allowed me to gain
that experience at an early age so that I could see that no matter how good a person may be, He
is the ONLY One in whom we place direct trust. As for the rest, trust is indirectly.
