When you make a lifestyle change and decide to start eating clean, you refrain from putting bad food into your body. As you get closer to God, you realize some things and people just don’t suit you anymore. Thus, you begin to detoxify your circle and weed out all negative energy. It’s practically normal and necessary. However, don’t become a person who’s too holy to hold hands with a sinner, now that you’re delivered.
When walking in step with the Lord, you should discover your role in ministry. I don’t mean joining a church ministry. Ministry is simply your gift or contribution of service. Some people are prayer warriors. Some people send out daily prayers or spiritual messages. Some people bring people together in fellowship. Some people are good listeners or give good advice. Some people know how to point you to the right scripture or even quote one to fit your situation. Depending on your role in ministry, the person you’re counting out might need you.
Usually when sinners see that you’ve grown closer to God, for it should show in your walk and talk, they’ll either walk with you or away from you. If they choose to walk in your faith, let them – don’t leave them. But if they choose to walk away, let them and understand that it may be best. At least that person was responsible and respectful enough to help you keep your covenant with God, by not being a bad influence. Don’t take it personal when it’s purposeful.
“Your walk with God should bring healing and love. Your obedience to Him will secure your place above.”
