Let go of people in your life who no longer fit. There is no blame attached - you just grow out of some people. They were right for you for one phase of your life; now they aren't right for you and you aren't right for them.
Sometimes our deep love for God makes people uncomfortable. You may have to say goodbye, while wishing them well, in order to be able to go forward in your new life in Christ.
We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be different?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are Abba's beloved child. We were born to let His light shine. As we are freed from our own fear, His love within us frees others.
