Every friendship has a Season

When someone first told me that every friendship has a season, the first feeling I had was relief. Growing up in a Christian home, going to a Christian school, and basically around other Christians 24-7, I found myself believing that everyone has to be my friend, just because they are a Christian.
This is not so..In fact, God tells us, that friends aren't supposed to be just other Christians, he wants you to reach out to others, and be a light to the world.
Just because you go to the same church and school with someone, doesnt mean that you need to be their friend. Now remember, always be friendly, but you are never forced into a friendship. There is a big difference between being friendly to your classmates and being friends with them.
I used to struggle with this concept. I used to find myself in a bad relationship, simply because the person called themself a Christian! How foolish that is for me to do!! Just because someone calls them self a Christian, doesn't automatically make them a good influence on your walk with Christ!
I learned, in the last few months, that other christians can have a negative outlook on life, and you need to be cautious when planning on building a relationship with someone.
I know its hard to break off a friendship, but remember one thing, Would God want you in an unhealthy, broken down relationship with someone that acts as a tyrant to you, simply because they call themself a Christian?
The answer is no! get out of messy, friendships, but always remember to show Christ to that individual, no matter what.. Be friendly, even if you cant be friends!
With God's loving mercy,
