Don’t let the devil’s whispers, especially when they come through familiar voices, trick you into feeling guilty when God isolates you from what isn’t serving your highest good and sets healthy boundaries around your life.
Sometimes, we don’t have the courage to choose ourselves first. But God sees what we cannot see. He saw intentions we never recognized and heard conversations we never heard so He acts on our behalf without our permission or help.
Evil is evil, and it must be dealt with fairly—even when the people behind the cruelty are our own parents or other family members.
If we can walk away from friends who abuse us mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, or spiritually, why should family members receive a different standard when they treat us the same way? Isn’t the harm still harm?
Sometimes, family can hurt us more deeply than strangers because we expected love, safety, and protection from them.
It may feel like we are losing people, but sometimes what feels like loss is actually God’s protection. If our hearts are pure then He is removing people who were never truly meant to walk with us so He can make room for people who will.
The right people—the ones who become our soul family through love, humility, respect, support, encouragement, kindness, and compassion.
The people we can grow alongside. The people we fall in line with, and who, imperfectly, fall in line with us too.
Our true soul family .
“And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.”
— Matthew 19:29 🙏🏾
“God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him…”
— Hebrews 6:10 🙏🏾
Sometimes God doesn’t take people away because He wants to punish us. Sometimes He removes them because He loves us enough to protect us from what we were too afraid to release ourselves.
