4 Lies that harm your ability to follow God, Part II

#4 only applies to weeds

To clarify LIE #4 that people belong in your life only because they are family or the same ethnicity, religion, etc., first always take care to trust your own intuition if you tend to be intuitive, and don't take my word for it but take everything to God in prayer. It's very important to pray about what's right for you in your own situation before cutting anyone off. 

As a rule of thumb, #4 only applies to weeds, not the ordinary thorns found on roses, if you will. In other words, be understanding of the foibles of others and try to create the best conditions in which all can flourish. Everyone has his and her own strengths, weaknesses and talents.

But if they go out of their way to conduct a smear campaign behind your back, selectively spreading lies only to people who don't know you very well and therefore don't know any better, or if they tell lie after pernicious lie trying to label you something you have absolutely NO  history with AT ALL, or if they try to steal your bank account number, you get the picture, then have NOTHING to do with such a person. They may think themselves very clever, imagining they're really pulling one over on everyone, but such people will never be healed and whole and well. All we can do is release them for God to deal with them.
