There are some people in life we get along with well, and others we don\u2019t. And in some cases, we\u2019re not supposed<\/i> to! Now let\u2019s be clear: we\u2019re not talking about being unloving, insensitive, or divisive. Paul says, \u2018Do all\u2026 you can to live in peace with everyone.\u2019<\/i> (Romans 12:18 NLT) We\u2019re talking about people God specifically tells us to break away from. When it comes to those who don\u2019t belong in your life, here are two things to consider. <\/p>\n
First, there\u2019s the revelation.<\/i> The Bible says: \u2018They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us\u2026 if they had\u2026 they would have remained\u2026 but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.\u2019<\/i> Just like you can\u2019t fit a square peg in a round hole, or mix oil and water, there are people who simply don\u2019t belong in your life. <\/p>\n
Second, there\u2019s the separation.<\/i> Paul said: \u2018Do not be yoked together with unbelievers\u2026 what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?\u2026 what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: \u201cI will live with them\u2026 walk among them\u2026 be their God, and they will be My people.\u201d Therefore, \u201cCome out from them and be separate\u2026 and I will receive you.\u201d\u2026 \u201cI will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters.\u201d\u2019<\/i> (2 Corinthians 6:14\u201318 NIV) <\/p>\n
Bottom line: when God tells you a relationship is not right for you, listen, and obey Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
