I have a Friend at church & i really love her!

However, since we have become friends, i have gone out of my way to show her how much i care about her. I've cooked her meals and taken them to her on a tray when she's been sick. I've door knocked at businesses when she's held charity auctions. I've done other random stuff. And it feels like she tries just as hard to push me away. I know she feels a bit undeserving of things, and that just makes me love her more.

Although admittedly, i had backed off over the past 6 or so months, as i felt that every time she talked to me, it was to say something hurtful. Whether intentional or not. Sometimes she's bought me to tears with a flippant comment.

Last weekend i invited her back to our place for lunch.

As we were eating, she said something to John about not having any Friends.

Well, i went a bit mad and mentioned all of the above. I said that I'd gone all out over time to be her friend and make her feel loved.

And she said, "Well I'm just not a very nice person." They were simple words, but i felt the hurt & belief behind them.

I may be a gluten for punishment, but that made me love her even more. And it has renewed my vigor in forcing my friendship & appreciation on her, weather she likes it or not! :o)
