My story

Throughout my life, I have faced many challenges and obstacles that have tested my strength and resilience. One of the biggest lessons I have learned is that sometimes, with the guidance of God, the wrong people need to leave your life in order for the right things to start happening.

I used to surround myself with toxic individuals who brought negativity and drama into my life. I thought that by sticking by their side, I was being a loyal friend and could help them overcome their issues. However, as time went on, I realized that their presence was hindering my own personal growth and happiness.

It took a lot of courage and strength, but with prayer and faith, I eventually made the decision to cut ties with these toxic people and focus on myself. It was a difficult process, as I had formed deep connections with these individuals over the years. But through my faith in God, I knew that in order to move forward and create a positive future for myself, I needed to let go of the negativity that was holding me back.

As soon as I eliminated these toxic influences from my life, I noticed a shift in my attitude and overall well-being. I felt lighter, happier, and more at peace with myself. The drama and chaos that once filled my days seemed to disappear, and I was able to focus on my own goals and dreams without any distractions.

I realized that by removing the wrong people from my life, I was making room for the right opportunities and experiences to come my way. Through God's guidance, I began to attract positive and like-minded individuals who supported and uplifted me, rather than tearing me down.

I also discovered a newfound sense of confidence and self-worth that I had never experienced before. I no longer felt the need to seek validation from toxic relationships, as I knew my worth and valued myself enough to surround myself with positivity and love, with God's love guiding me every step of the way.

Looking back, I am grateful for the lessons I learned from letting go of the wrong people in my life. It was a painful process, but it was necessary for my personal growth and happiness. I now understand that, with God by my side, sometimes, in order for the right things to happen, the wrong people need to leave your life. And I am stronger and happier because of it, knowing that God's plan is always greater than my own.

Go deeper

When wrong people leave your life, wrong things stop happening because bad company corrupts good character (1 Corinthians 15:33). The Bible teaches us to be cautious of the company we keep, as those we surround ourselves with can influence our thoughts, actions, and beliefs. Proverbs 13:20 states, "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm."

Removing toxic or negative influences from our lives can lead to positive changes and growth. It allows for healthier relationships to form and opens up space for God to work in our lives. Psalm 1:1-3 highlights the importance of surrounding ourselves with godly influences, stating that those who delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on it day and night will be like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in season.

Ultimately, when wrong people leave your life, it creates room for God to bring the right people into your life and for His will to be done. Trusting in God's plan and seeking His guidance in relationships can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

The Firm Foundation of Faith

**Restoring Relationships**

Last Tuesday, during Eskom’s Stage 6 load-shedding, I sat in my dimly lit Akasia living room, staring at a WhatsApp message from my cousin Thabo. Our once-close bond had fractured over a political debate—ANC vs. EFF—that spiraled into personal jabs. His text read: *“You’ve become a coconut, bra. Black on the outside, white-washed inside.”* My reply? A venomous *“At least I’m not a populist clown.”* Pride, that sly serpent, had coiled around our tongues.   But as the generator hummed and my coffee cooled, Colossians 3:13 flickered in my mind like a candle in the dark: *“Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”* Unconditional. No asterisks. No “but he started it.” Just grace.   **II. The Theology of Broken Pipes**   South Africa knows fractures. Our Vaal River, choked by sewage and neglect, mirrors relational toxicity—grievances left to fester. Yet, Christ’s forgiveness isn’t a passive drip; it’s a flash flood. To “bear with one another” (Colossians 3:13) is to choo...

The Power of the Mundane

## The Power of the Mundane **Scripture:** "And not a sparrow falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable than many sparrows." - Matthew 10:29-31 **Thought:** We often focus on the big moments, the grand gestures, believing those are the only things that truly matter to God. But Jesus reminds us that He cares deeply for even the smallest details of our lives. The way we approach our daily tasks, the words we speak, the thoughts we harbor – all of it is important. God sees it all, and He values each detail. This understanding empowers us to see purpose in the mundane, to find meaning in the seemingly insignificant. **Action Plan:** Today, choose one small task that you typically rush through or do without much thought. As you do it, consciously pause and offer it as a prayer to God. Thank Him for the opportunity to serve Him, even in this seemingly insignificant act.  **...
