Episode 106 breaks down family and friends. Those who we hold near and dear to our hearts. Those who we may have known our entire life. Those who we’ve confided with. Those who we’ve shared with pain with. Those who’ve known you at your best and have known you at your worst. Family and friends help make us who we are. We as people have an inherent desire and need to be around people. Especially those we care, support, and love. Family and friends encompass these strong connections in life. Family and friends keep us grounded. Family and friends keep us wanting more out of life. Genuine family and friends will be there for us through the ups and downs. Family and friends bring back nostalgic memories, during nostalgic times that we will never be able to relive again. That is the beauty of family and friends as well as the beauty of life.
Everything in life goes through changes. Everything in life goes through phases. Life is meant to be lived with the ones we hold near and dear to our hearts. However, for many of us, our relationships with our family and friends have changed dramatically. A lot of this change is due to our own actions and decisions that affected our relationship with certain family members and certain friends. However, a major reason why our relationships change with family and friends is, that we change when we aim to seek justice, righteousness, and truth out of life. We live in a world that is made up of those who live by the herd mentality. We live in a world where the average person is so indoctrinated and idol worships so much that they have no ability to use their discernment. It can become very off-putting to those who witness the dramatic change and transformation of someone who seeks justice, righteousness, and truth. Psalm 119: [9-11].
Oftentimes, our family and friends might think that the person they once knew is gone forever. Oftentimes, our family and friends want to desperately hold onto the memories of our old self and the things we used to partake in. This spiritual tug-of-war can be draining for both those who seek righteousness along with our family and friend relationships. Things begin to dramatically change and shake-up for the righteous, once we become curious as to the meaning of life and what’s really going on in this world. Many of us seek and find The Most High because we want more than what’s offered in this Babylonian system. Deep down we know nothing in Babylon can genuinely satisfy our souls. Our family and friends typically have a specific viewpoint of us, due to all of the quality time we’ve spent with them and all of the memories we’ve shared. The righteous must remember that we cannot force someone to seek The Most High. We cannot force someone to want to seek justice, righteousness, and truth. Our own family members and friends will refuse discipline. We must remember that it’s okay and we must remember to let go. We must remember to accept their decision, regardless of what decision they make. Ecclesiastes 1: [18].
It's up to The Most High's righteous people to warn those around them about the world's evil, wickedness, and idolatry. It’s up to The Most High's righteous people to share the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of The Most High. Ezekiel 33: [8-9].
Without the Laws, Statutes, and Commandments of The Most High, we'll only continue to be given calamity throughout our lives.
All praises to The Most High.
