Four years ago, my friends and family have been telling me to let him go. They were referring to a guy best friend of mine. Our friendship was one of a kind and he was the last person whom I thought would hurt me. Then I decided to go to Dubai and after 5 months, he followed me here.
Everything was okay for a few weeks until we both hit rock bottom — I was not getting paid by my company and he was having difficulties in finding a job. After a month, I got terminated as my company couldn’t afford to pay me anymore. We didn’t have money to pay our rent and everyday was a struggle to find food to eat. Then he found a job and met new friends while I was just home and waiting for my Labour Ban to be lifted so I could start working again.
Our friendship started to deteriorate until we felt nothing but hatred towards each other. A lot of painful things happened that I still couldn’t believe would happen to our friendship. People told me to let him go but I was scared to be alone in a foreign country, I was scared that he’d left me behind. I was crying out to God every single night to make things better, to take away my pain, and to give me more strength. I did not have a job and money to pay rent. My dreams were shattered and my best friend in the whole wide world left me.
My only strength that time was my faith in Him — I didn’t know back then that it was more than enough. My best friend & I parted ways but it took me a while to let him go but when I finally did, I started making new friends, I appreciated my old friends even more, I started fixing my life again one step at a time. My relationship with my family got stronger and we welcomed the New Year of 2016 with good news — my Labour Ban was lifted! I got hired in a stable company where the salary never gets delayed — in a company where I met a man who was so quiet and gentle that I am now blessed to be called his wife.
You see, had I not experienced all these, had I not emptied myself and let go of what I needed to let go — God would not have a chance to fill my life with better things, people, and blessings. So to you, who is going through a very tough time right now, do not give up. Let God work on you. Let God fill you with His grace and blessings. Let God love you even more. Let God take care of you. Let Him guide you. Let Him plan for you. Let Go of what you need to. Let go of what is hurting you. Let go — and let God!
