TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS...... A toxic relationship/friendship can be like a slow working poison that can greatly harms your most important relationship which is the one you have with our Lord Jesus Christ. If you are a people pleaser, you might begin to compromise your biblical convictions in order to impress your friends/partner. Peer pressure can be good or bad depending upon the character of your peers/partner and how they behave. You should always choose to please the Lord 1st, even if it means losing a friend or ending a toxic relationship that is draining you and pulling you away from your 1st love, which is Jesus. Some relationships consume way too much of your time and then you begin to neglect the Lord. The choice of friends/partner is yours and so are the consequences! Some friendships/relationships help us honour the Lord, while others tempt us to dishonour the Lord and it is these kind of relationships that have the potential of doing us great harm. We tend to become like our friends/partner. This means you must choose your friends/partner very carefully using Godly discernment. Just because they go to church still does not mean you should be close to them. Many attend for many different reasons and can be religious but still lost in sin! Friendships/relations, influence us in ways that are subtle and powerful and we must make sure that our close friendships/relationships are Christ-centered. When you fellowship with a Godly person, you will be blessed and inspired but if they are selfish, carnal and controlling, they can have a slow but negative affect on you overtime, without you being aware of it. Slowly your passion for Jesus erodes into a religious routine. Is that what you want? Your friends and/or close relationships will play a major role in your journey of life. Choose them wisely!
