“What is it that brings separation in our lives between the ones we love?..what is it that happens along the way that breaks bonds that were once so strong and steadfast?..what is it that tears down relationships?..what it is that happens that breaks hearts so badly that even after saying sorry and even after forgiving still there is no going back?..Amen..because somehow all of us have many that are not in our lives..there has been a separation..and there is a gap and a huge one at that between people..and its everywhere..Amen..but I do know that if I consider the Lord and I think about what separates us from Him and of course we all know that, that of course is sin..Isaiah 59:2..Amen..sin separates us..it builds walls..it causes division..it causes silence..it causes anger..and it causes hurts and tears..and it causes pain and loads of it..Amen..so again today I do know that many have been separated by family and by friends that should’ve been in your life forever..and somehow there not..Amen..there gone..and they truly know nothing about you..not spiritually..not mentally..not nothing..Amen!”

“And whats even sadder about the whole thing is it starts small..little things that we do and say and over time those things build..and they begin to break down hearts and relationships..and then one day all of that stuff..the jealousy..the talk..the attitudes..all of that..it just surfaces and someone in the midst of that walks away from it..and steps back and evaluates the picture..Amen..because love is a HUGE word and you don’t hurt the ones you love..but you shield them..you protect them at all cost..you encourage them..you hold fast to them..regardless..and you don’t consider them an enemy..Amen..nor should any of us ever have to consider family and friends enemies but somehow it happens..through not enough respect for one another..speaking poorly to them..lying about them..hating on them..gossiping behind their backs..jealous over them and any achievement or accomplishment that happens in their lives..other than truly being happy..truly loving them..truly holding on to them..they don’t and as I say things that were meant to last fall and fall fast in so many lives..so today don’t take your family and friends for granted..quit being mean to them..quit truly hating on them..and gossiping about them..because this is the thing we all reap what we sow..and if you are sowing all of this discord sooner or later you reap what you sowed..and it catches up with ya..for you see people know how people treat them..but many myself included always looked past it all because I am child of God..but as well the Lord does not expect us to be hurt by others..and or for that hurt and division to always continue..Amen!”

“So care about you and your life..and forgive absolutely always forgive..but as well step away from the strife..from the drama and from the hurt and pain that others cause and wanna bring on you and your life..Amen..for again I will say this and I love this saying and it says..go where you are celebrated not at all where you are tolerated..Amen..for many people would love for you to be there friend..and many people become family to you in life..so don’t just continue to let others treat you unfairly..poorly and or to stir up a mess always in your life..its just not worth it..and again I do know that hurting people hurt people..Amen..but being a child of God and acting this way and behaving this way towards family and friends is not at all a godly thing for any to overlook in their lives..but rather they need to work it out between them and the Lord..because again sin is what separates us from others just as it separates us from the Lord..so let us work on us and be the best we can be..and sow well in our lives..treating people well..Amen..don’t lose them ones in your life that as I say should be there forever..Amen..so lets think about what we’re doing and let us think about how we’re acting..for everyone points fingers but if we see us for who we are..then we can work and begin to build again from there..because trust once broken it takes a long time to build back up again..so be well in your life with people..be caring and kind..and respect your family and friends..treat them well..and ever so well at that..and love them and love them well..don’t be partial in your love..Amen..for again everything we do matters and it does matter greatly..and know that it is those little things that are the big things..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
