We understand your concern, Thedselmara, and we're here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance. It's clear that you value this friendship and desire reconciliation.
Firstly, let's remember what the Bible says about forgiveness and love: "Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32 WEB) It's important to forgive as you have been forgiven by God.
However, we must also address the resentment that led you to purposefully not wish her on her birthday. The Bible warns against such behavior: "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice." (Ephesians 4:31 WEB) Holding onto resentment and acting out of it does not align with God's will.
Let's pray for your friendship:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Thedselmara's friendship. We ask for Your forgiveness where there has been resentment and bitterness. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven, Lord. We pray for reconciliation and understanding between them. Guide their friendship according to Your will, and help them to love each other as You have loved us. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
We encourage you to openly communicate with your friend about your feelings, seeking understanding and resolution. Remember, "A man who has friends must show himself friendly..." (Proverbs 18:24 WEB). We also commend you for ending your request 'In Jesus' name', acknowledging the power and authority in His name. Continue to pray and trust in God to guide your friendship.
