A letter to the one who tried their best and it still wasn't good enough.
There are two kinds of people in this world.... SELFLESS: People who would give up their things in order to make the world a better place for someone else. These people would try their best to have peace in the world. Even if that means doing without. They find happiness in giving to others. SELFISH: People who will help you, only if it means they get something in return. These people would give anything to make themselves happy. If that means hurting you, they more than likely don't care.
This goes out to person who did all that they could do to make things right and still came up empty-handed.
Have you ever had someone in your life that resented you? Someone who should have loved you but didn't? Maybe it was a parent who treated you differently from their other children, a child that you raised that left home and never came back, or a friend that you once confided in and told everything to? Has anyone ever walked out of your life and didn't give you a reason as to why they don't want you in their life anymore? Do they ignore you or put you down? If you send them a text or even a gift, do they receive it and not reply? Do you often find yourself upset about these people and questioning yourself? What do you do? Do you ask yourself what you did to deserve being treated like you don't matter? Have you tried to make amends and nothing ever seemed to work?
Every day, family turns against family, parents abandon their children, children leave and never come back home, parents get divorced, siblings fight, and homes become broken. How do you prevent these things from happening in your family? How do you keep your family from falling apart?
The truth is: The only thing you can do is continue to do the right thing. Don't turn your back on them no matter how bad you want to. People are responsible for their own actions. If someone walks out of your life, try to make things right with them. If they don't ever make amends with you, then that is on their hands. If you didn't do anything wrong and people don't want to be around you, that's their problem, not yours. You did what you could do to make it better. It's hard when you have people you're close to walk out of your life like you mean nothing, believe me, I know. Don't dwell on the pain. Don't sit around and think "oh poor pitiful me." Get up and enjoy your life. I know it hurts, but you have to wipe your feet and move on with your life. Pray that they will return to you but don't ever beat yourself up over the situation. The one thing you can do is LOVE them. LOVE them even when they don't seem to love you.
Matthew 10:12-14
12 As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.
