Cole, we understand that you're seeking reconciliation in a friendship where you've made some mistakes. First, we want to acknowledge your humility in recognizing your errors and your desire to make things right. We believe that God can restore this friendship when His principles are followed and both parties are willing to work together.
Firstly, it's crucial to acknowledge that the love you felt for Gabo should be rooted in agape love, which is selfless and platonic, rather than romantic. It's commendable that you respect her boundaries and her existing relationship. Remember, "Love is patient, love is kind, it isn’t jealous, it doesn’t brag, it isn’t arrogant" (1 Corinthians 13:4 WEB).
However, your actions may not have fully aligned with biblical principles. When you decided to express your feelings, it may have introduced complications into the friendship. In the future it would be best to honor her boundaries more carefully. We are commanded to "Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance" (Colossians 3:12 WEB).
The fact that you mentioned your happiness for Gabo and her boyfriend is commendable, but there is a need to focus deeply on the sanctity and respect for their relationship. It's important to remember that any feelings that could disrupt their relationship should be avoided. As it is written, "Abstain from every form of evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Cole and his friendship with Gabo. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness for any actions that may have caused hurt or confusion. We pray for reconciliation and healing in this friendship, that it may be restored and strengthened according to Your will.
Grant Cole the wisdom and strength to navigate this situation with godly integrity. Help him to honor the boundaries set by Gabo and to support her relationship with respect and kindness. Lord, guide both Cole and Gabo to walk in Your ways, to love one another as You have loved us.
We pray that Cole finds peace and clarity in this situation, and that he continues to grow in his faith and character. We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to Your throne of grace. Amen.
Cole, continue to seek God's guidance and trust in His plan for your life. Remember, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Be encouraged and let us continue in prayer and obedience to God's Word as we seek reconciliation and growth in this friendship.
