“A good heart isn’t strategic enough to take you into your next. A polite goodbye is due.” ”
Almost Rights are a distraction. What I am saying is: It’s a lack of faith to keep the wrong people around.
It implies you feel God is not sovereign and powerful enough for you to have faith in the unseen that the right people DO exist and WILL come to you.
You don’t have to settle for “almost right,” simply because worse is… well worse. It’s weak. We must be like Abram… well Abraham and the way he slid on Lot. #Respectfully.
“So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”” Genesis 13:8-9 NKJV
While the wrong people are in the right people’s places, the right people can’t come because you will not have the lens to see them or hope for the future that more right people exist. Clinging to people that you know are wrong for you and your purpose is chaotic microdosing.
Your vision will always be too large for the wrong company’s capacity. More plainly, their territory isn’t large enough to support what you say you’re going to do and who you believe you’re being called to become. Considering they cannot do for you or better than you what you are being assigned, do these people choose to come against the reality of it being able to be done at all? Do they place limitations on your humanity and what God has told you? Well, there you have it: they’re the wrong people. God said no Word returns unto Him void, so you WILL and CAN do what He said. Make room for the people assigned to help you steward your vision and purpose.
And you know exactly what wrong people are in your life, several of them have flashed through your mind reading this. But should you be in denial, I’ll help. Instead of coming up to where you are, these people have to bring you down into their visual field. They have to chop you and what you yield into consumable pieces. You know exactly those who you “can’t tell everything to.” If you don’t start letting these folks choke on the full version of you! This reinforces the evident lack of faith necessary to keep certain people around just to “have someone” or because it has “been so long.” Let them go! God did not call you to settle or force things.There will be grief in severing the ties, YES. But do you believe God can restore? His Word says where you do much with little, He will bless you with much. We serve a God of growth, no limitations— so anyone whom limits the love they’ll give you by how much dirt they can get on you to make a connection with them; instead of, how much they can clean up to connect with you— HAS NOT BEEN SENT BY GOD. Love is not hard, humanity is. So anyone starving you of unbridled support, consistency, encouragement, resources, and a safe space for correction and evolving has placed you in inhumane conditions. The “love” they offer is too expensive. Christ already died for it ALL. You do not have to pay for anyone’s love with your peace and self-fulfillment.
The Almost Rights are distractions from God’s best. Resist the desire to settle and deepen your faith. Have faith that you WILL be content walking alone until the Equally Surrendered come to help shoulder your purpose, as you theirs. It’s time to make the right decision and tell the wrong people goodbye. They have a story too, and most assuredly in someone else’s story they will be right for them— this is the “good” part of goodbye. Release them and more importantly, release you. The limitless version of you.
