How should I deal?
Perhaps I should have prayed before going to a human channel to discuss this whole issue. I know I have not prayed enough for her when it was still salvagable. When God asks us Christians to be shining light and a salt of the world, to be the bearer of righteosness, I have failed in my duty towards her as a friend who is a Christian. I have not spoken to her rightly and timely due to my own prejudice and displeasure. I have not upheld the truth with her.
How to deal with all these?
The one and only most effective channel - prayer. Even though I may not find the answers now, God will show me His will someday.
