I hear many say “This generation is quick to discard people or things”. Yes, and I love that for us. But what amazes me is the fact that no one pauses to think about how this is the result of being raised by the generation that stuck through the thickest thick with no thin in sight and suffered because of it. Some of us grew up watching our parents, grandparents, or anyone before us carrying the amount of load that would put a donkey or a heavy truck to shame. No light load, just a daily dose of hardship and struggle we have been taught to call “a blessing in disguise”. The delusion!

This applies to anything.
Family members, friendships, a spouse, Jobs, any relationship, place, person, or thing that is causing you to question your worth and become so focused on it rather than God and your well-being, is a distraction.
Leave.
In my lifetime, I have seen God truly be by my side and open better doors for me to a better place where I know only He gets the credit for. But you know what happened when I stood beside what was not meant to be? I was Burntout, complaining, confused, mad at me, you, them, she, he, EVERYBODY & EVERYTHING! I am out here thinking me living the rough life (and might I embarrassingly add, BRAGGING about it) would someday lead me to waking up in a mansion with natural light hitting my face first thing in the morning, waking up to the sounds of birds chirping and, an angel flying down with a scroll(aka certificate of successful completion) and handing that to me while I sooth myself with the words “This is what it was all for…I overcame…I conquered…I…I did it!” again to that I say…The delusion!

There is neither a blessing nor a reward like a pot of gold at the end of this. Leave.

I know someone reading this, especially in the case of Marriage will say “But the Bible says…” Listen, the Bible says, “Fight the good fight of the faith” (1Timothy 6:12) not “just fight” (Error 24:7).

Instead of fighting AFTER entering a place that was never God’s will, I have learned that we must spend time in prayer and seek the Lord BEFORE making any decision. Could it be that we are drained and often feel so hopeless and angry at God because we invest so much of our time in what we were never meant to even spend a second on? Crying out to God with “But God I spent all my…” Did God ask you to do that? Was God even part of any of this to begin with? I am constantly reminded of the fact that whenever I feel drained, confused, and out of place it is most often than not because some kind of misplacement has happened. God will not equip us for what he has not called us to so, Leave.
Might I also add, could it be that some of us are so proud of this hardship because it gives us something to brag about?

Hello? Yes? Idolatry, is that you?

I mean I get it. I too am a human. Overcoming an obstacle and looking back at the journey can sometimes feel very rewarding and fulfilling. But, we mustn’t get distracted by this mentality because it will cost us our understanding of having faith in God and cause a detour. Although Detours can be seen as an act of mercy by God, they take time. And each second spent in what is not God’s will is taking away the from what is His will. Can we afford that?

I say all this to say, leave before someone comes to drag you out of there and you have to spend an unnecessary amount of time recovering. We are in the end times, we see, hear, and feel it all around us. Our King’s grand return is soon to come. So, don’t burden yourself with what you were never meant to carry.
Again, this applies to any part of life.
Leave.
Have a blessed week.
