Me and the most popular girl in school

by Tiago Ferreira V. de Carvalho—São Paulo, Brazil

About two years ago I became friends with the most popular girl in school. It was the first time l'd ever had such a strong friendship. Vanessa and I talked a lot, opened up to each other, told each other secrets. We liked the same music, and we rooted for the same soccer team. Eventually we became best friends. It was the first time someone trusted me.

Some school friends started to say she was using me to make another guy jealous. When we talked about this, she got mad, and we argued. Soon after that, vacation started. Then I began to worry because I thought that when school started again, she would ignore me.

I told my Sunday School teacher what was happening, and she explained that I didn't have to be afraid, because I'm very loved by God. God's love never changes, so the true love we receive from Him never changes.
