The person who un-friended me is an atheist and blames Christians for all the problems of the world, so my general posts about Christ would have been unwelcome and I was quietly "un-friended".
I am comforted, though, because Jesus didn't come here to make friends. Matthew 10: 35-38 says:
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
So, what do I do about this? Well, I will continue to pray for salvation for my friend. The "un-friending" hurts, but it would hurt more to not see my friend in heaven.
Have you ever been un-friended by a close friend? What did you do?
