Toxic Relationships!

When a blind man leads a blind man, they both end up in the ditch.
Matthew 15:14

Your development, and in some cases your healing, can only take place when you walk with the right people! Remember the story of the scorpion that asked a frog to carry him across the river because he couldn't swim?
"How do I know you won't sting me?" the frog asked.
"If I do,we'll both drown," he replied.
So the scorpion hopped on. Half way across the river the scorpion stung him. As they were drowning the frog said, "You promised you wouldn't. Why did you sting me?"
The scorpion replied, "I can't help it, it's my nature to sting."

Learn to recognise toxic relationships and walk away from them before they take you down with them. A toxic relationship is like a body part with gangrene; if you don't amputate, the infection will spread. Unless you've the courage to cut off what won't heal, you'll end up losing much more.

You can't partner successfully with someone who doesn't share your goals. When you feel passionately about something but they don't, it's like trying to dance the fox trot with someone who only wants to waltz.You picked the wrong dance partner. Don't get tied up with someone who doesn't share your God-given purpose. Some issues can be corrected through teaching and leadership, but you can't teach somebody to care.And if they don't care, they'll infect your environment, ruin your productivity, and break your rhythm with constant complaints.
So ask God, "Who belongs in my life?"
