Yeah I understand. And sometimes some space is good, otherwise ppl end up getting on each other’s nerves to the point that the relationship can’t be repaired.
I’m trying to look at it like this- Jesus asked the rich man to give up all of his things and follow him. If that man would have done that, he probably would have lost some friends who no longer found him “relatable.” Probably wouldn’t have lost a wife who thought he had gone crazy and bc he could no longer provide a fancy life for her. That’s what we have been asked to do as well. I’m trying to view it as my commitment to God and what He’s telling me to do HAS to mean more to me than anything or anyone else. We are going through a test that we cannot afford to fail. I strongly believe this in my heart
Yep! Totally agree this is a test. It hurts inside my soul to see my old friends and some of my own family members step out of my life over the political turmoil but what can I do or say? Am I going to beg them to love me or apologize for how I feel? I most certainly am not going to follow them as they jump off the bridge. Nope it seems as though we have all gotten rid of the extra weight in our lives and identified the genuine relationships we always had. Pretty cool and I shall thank the Lord for the discovery 🙏🏻
It’s very difficult…. But God paid back Job exponentially for all that he had lost during time of being tested. The Bible says God is the same today as he was back then. I believe he will pay us back exponentially as well

I am in the same boat. It does hurt, but we can and it is our duty to continue praying for them

You are oh so correct
