There are some friendships, and to some extent relationships, that I badly wanted to be a part of. Not only when I was little, but also now as a young adult. I would try so hard to fit into groups whose member’s personalities are so different from mine. I wanted to be one of them because most kids find them cool because of what they do and how they act. A few years since then, I am still in that same spot—only with a different and better perspective. I realized why I never became one of those kids I envied in school. I now see how God spared me from all those relationships because they could have been toxic for me (1 Corinthians 15: 33). I may not have been the best (most popular, smartest, etc.) in all aspects in school, but at this point, seeing how every body turned out, I feel like I am loved most because He intervened (Romans 8: 28). P. S. Prevention is better than cure.
