Genesis 13:8, “So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you takethe left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”
Their will come times, when we will need to be removed from loved ones in order to spiritually grow. While we all have the same goal of spending eternity with Jesus Christ, every man and woman will have their own separate journey. At times YAH will remove those not based on anything corrupting our spirit but more for our physical prosperity.
Abraham and Lot started their journey together but separated, having to do what was best for their flocks and herds. While this parting of ways was cordial many times YAH will divide us from others for our own spiritual growth. Moreso the majority of time will be for our spiritual edification.
2 Corinthians 6:17, states “Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you.” Romans 16:17 also reads, “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.”I know that losing contact with close friends can be painful.
We must always trust the Holy Spirit, and look for the reasoning behind their absence. Were they hindering you? Or did they receive a deeper relationship with Jesus in their absence? Know that ultimately all things in this world will pass away (1 John 2:17) us included but Jesus Christ is forever, Shalom…
