Focus: Surviving When Christians Hurt You Day 30 | September 30 Releasing Guilt When A Friendship Expires
As described in both Psychology Today and the closing blog, friendships sometimes have “expiration dates.” Sometimes, letting go isn’t failure—it’s realizing you can’t force a bond that’s meant to change. Jesus himself shifted relationships, moving from servant to friend (John 15:15). Let go of guilt, honor the good, and release unhealthy ties.
Bible Verses:
“I no longer call you servants… Instead, I have called you friends.” (John 15:15)
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” (Isaiah 43:18)
“There is a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.” (Ecclesiastes 3:5)
Call to Action:
Reflect on friendships that may be ending or have ended. Thank God for growth, pray blessings on those relationships, and move ahead with peace.
3 Things to Remember:
Letting go honors both people’s growth.
Guilt is not of God.
Cherish memories, but keep moving forward.
