Has this ever happened to you?

Have you ever wanted something that you couldn't have? And you knew why you couldn't have it, but it still didn't make any sense? God has been showing Himself to me in a situation that deals with this. It's funny how He has a way of showing us little things that make us realize that the big picture would never work out. Ok... so, I have this friend David, the one who is into witchcraft and except for the fact that he isn't a christian and has a bad potty mouth, he is a great guy. Well, I realized today how much little things he does gets on my nerves and how, at one point, when I was considering dating him (even though I never would), I thought that he was the greatest guy. I mean he is nice and all, but I never realized how much small things matter in the long scheme of things. Like, how he has to always have the last word, and always be right (even if he is wrong). While he is very encouraging and makes me press on when I am working out and he always compliments me and has my best interest at heart, it will and can never work.

My heart aches to know that if He died today, He would spend eternity in Hell. I care about him as a friend and I have his eternity in mind. I don't know what to do. Should I quote scriptures to him? Should I keep doing what I have been doing.. invite him to our socials and to church? Should I ask him about his beliefs (as Ashlie suggested)? I feel as if ever since I found out that he practiced witchcraft I have acted differently towards him. I haven't been as nice and flirty and sweet.. like I was before. Now, I hate to admit that sometimes I dread seeing him and it is very evident (ask Sarah about that one). I feel as if my witness should be stronger, but I am slipping away. I am so hurt, angry and aggravated. I don't know what to do. Does any one have any suggestions?
