don't give up on her

there is such a thing as being too nice. i have most often been the nice girl. i like the fulfillment i sense when helping someone out. i've tried not caring about anyone else in the world, and it seems to hinder me more than help me. that whole verse, in order to make friends you must first make yourself friendly. i know she needs me right now. my sister can't understand why, after time and time again of her mistreating me, i would still try and help her out. i am trying to find the best way to show her God's love. God never gives up on us! He never says, "Well, you've made SO MANY mistakes against me. You've messed up a million times. I don't want you anymore." He never cuts us off from His love. so why should i cut her off? she doesn't know what a good friend is, and i will continue to do my best to try and show her.

ti also argues that you teach people how to treat you, which is also SO true. if people push you around, and you don't stand up for yourself, they'll keep pushing. knock you down. you have to have respect for yourself enough to stop people from mistreating you. i think i need to find a healthy balance between allowing loving someone and showing them i care, with out exposing too much that they give me a low blow.
