Struggle with making friends

[timewerx]

I don't see why be friends with her anymore. This isn't the first time she has ignored me. I don't see it beneficial to be friends with her anymore.

She is not even open to hearing about my faith in Jesus. The one time I said in front of her "I thanked God", she got mad at me. I'm sure if I said anymore, she would gladly report me to HR.

Besides, I don't think she would even want to hear the concerns I have about her immoral relationship. She is a lesbian in an immoral relationship with a woman. That group has concerning statistics on abuse and violence. While I don't want to see either of them get hurt, you can't do anything about a person that doesn't want to hear the truth.

You can still "lead" her by example.

I personally keep my Christian ways private. I tell people I'm Christian if they ask but I don't pray in public for example or don't let other people see me pray. I don't refer to God nor Jesus when other people are around who may not be Christians nor listen to Christian music in a way that others can hear it.

It's actually Biblical to keep our ways to ourselves (Matthew Chapter 6).

And for good reasons. There are many people who dislike Christians and sadly for the wrong reasons. Usually, negative experiences with Christians who did them harm.

If people clearly are likely to harm you when they would know you're a believer, yes, keeping a low profile makes sense. And in a professional/work context I also make sure I don't explicitly/loudly profile myself as a believer as I also would be annoyed if others would do that in case they're Muslim or Hindu.

Otherwise however I do make an effort to let others know subtly what my faith is; it's a great way of allowing others to take that it and pose questions on the subject. We should let our light shine in our environment.

Usually from negative experiences with Christians. There's even worse, the children of the devil will know the children of the light even if you keep your faith totally secret.
