Friends, it’s a beautiful day, and I’d like to share my personal hack with you. Honestly, I’m not a “people person.” I’ve always found it difficult to deal with crowds or engage with people for long periods. I feel they talk too much, and I often feel drained. I simply prefer to be in my own space. However, as I grow in the knowledge of God, I’ve realized that He gives me the ability to cope and appreciate the presence of others. I’ve learned to enjoy seeing and hearing people speak, even if I don’t speak much myself. I love watching people express themselves and do what they love.
I’m sure some of you reading this may feel the same way at times. But as children of God, we trust that the Lord places the right people in our lives. He guides us in building a healthy circle of friends and a supportive community. Navigating relationships can be a challenging aspect of our lives, especially when it comes to friendships. These relationships play a huge role in our spiritual lives and mental well-being.
As children of God, we are never left to navigate this journey alone. We have the help of the Holy Spirit. God created us with limitations and abilities, knowing that we would need His guidance to navigate this. The Holy Ghost is always present to offer insight, wisdom, and direction in every area of our lives, including relationships.
I believe that the Holy Spirit plays an essential role in guiding us to discern who should stay in our lives and who may not be a good fit for our journey.
No matter how friendly or kind someone might be, sometimes we encounter people who aren't meant to stay in our lives. If we don’t invite God into the process, we might find ourselves struggling with relationships that don’t align with His will. The Holy Spirit offers us the wisdom to recognize when someone’s presence in our life might be pulling us away from God’s purpose.
“Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!” – Psalm 27:14 (ESV)
When we trust in God’s direction, we avoid rushing into relationships that may not be beneficial spiritually, emotionally, or mentally. This patience is key in avoiding unnecessary burdens and helps us stay aligned with God’s plan for our lives.
When we rely on the Holy Spirit, we are reminded that we have the power to choose who stays in our lives. God desires that we love everyone, but that doesn’t mean we should be friends with everyone. By listening to the Holy Spirit and inviting Him into our relationships, we can navigate our connections with others in a way that honors God and promotes our spiritual growth.
So, the next time you’re considering bringing someone into your circle, ask God for guidance. Let Him know about it, and trust that He will lead you in making the right decision. In doing so, you will find peace and direction, knowing that your relationships align with God’s will for your life.
Stay Revived!
