Luke 6:26- 36
I want to express something that we have all dealt with or are dealing with now. I want to talk about toxic people. They come in all shapes and forms as they know no boundaries. Realize that until you stop allowing a toxic person to hurt you and your life, they will continue to do so for their pleasure. The most important thing to remember is that you have the power to stop a toxic person. You do this by controlling your own actions and reactions to others behavior towards you.
Love the Hell out of them but Guard your Heart ♥
Though you cannot control others, but the good thing is you can control yourself and your life. You have the power to walk away from a toxic person and not allow them to hurt you anymore. Love them with the heart of God still but keeping a distance until you seek God. I love myself enough to no longer tolerate superficial game-playing, and believe that I’m making room in my life for happier, healthier friendships. I have a lot to offer and life is too short for head games and unnecessary drama. There is a work to do and we must not be distracted. Always keeping our eyes on God is critical!
Having the self-respect to end a relationship that becomes demeaning to you is very empowering and spiritually healthy.When a person intentionally tries to harm you then step away from them and pray for them. It seems so hard to do sometimes but it is possible. I have found others blaming me for being happy with my life created by God. Mistreating me because of my TAGS (talents, abilities, gifts, and skills) or just because they are in a bad situation. It is not Godly at all. I know my self-worth because I am a child of a King! Glory to God.
Continue to love them with the heart of God, because if you love them with flesh they will poison you!

Be Better Not Bitter 
Hi Shenine, I wish this was possible with the W.P Hacker but it’s not they continue to hurt us and there is nothing we can do to stop them so I prayed about it and God gave me Scripture to confirm what was needed ( see below ) But as you said we cannot Love as God Loves in the flesh it must be put to death so we can be perfected in Love , this is why we need to continually choose to Love even those who hurt us instead of pushing them away or ignoring them and we do this by the empowering of the Holy Spirit.
I’m so thankful God does not give up on us when we are a pain in the neck to Him and continue to hurt Him, although He does say He does not listen to those who sin unless they have heart repentance but He still blesses them.
Luke 6:26- 36 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye Love them which Love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But Love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Christian Love Anne
Anne, yes this is true. We must allow the Holy Spirit to step in and take control. Thats why we must go to that intimate place before God and pray and fulfill the inside with spiritual food. We must not allow bitterness and hate to enter and consume us. So I choose to love with the heart of God. We all have our sin. God will not punish us for not allowing someone harmful to us in our inner circle. I still love everyone but God says to guard your heart too.
So Anne, what is this W.P. Hacker? God’s work will be done in you and through you my sister in Christ. I pray that God’s work in you and Ron goes forward in Jesus name. You have come to far Woman of God to be distracted. God’s work will go forth. Thank you for stopping by and sipping on a cup of Christ with me and others.
Enjoy your day with the peace of God!

Hi Shenine, thank for your concern, we have a Hacker or we think it is someone who works for WordPress because of the control they have over our Blog and other peoples, it doesn’t happen all the time which makes us think their on shift work.
As for all being sinners that is why we need Salvation to say we don’t is calling God a lier but when we have put the flesh to death we don’t continue to sin because we are Born again of God’s seed and we are set free from the Slavery of sin, we don’t have to earn our Salvation it is a free gift but we will show we have it. Weaknesses and shortcomings are very differant from sin and many are confused.
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God
John 8:34-36 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Christian Love from us both Anne
Anne, God is your strength. Keep your eyes on Him. Don’t allow any distractions. Have a great day filled with smiles.

Thank you x I didn’t want this article to end..keep writing x but one question – y doesnt god change toXic people? Y does he have to tell me to leave?
Hi yourspretty, we have to distant ourselves sometimes. Especially, if another’s behavior is causing stress or causing us to view ourselves in a negative way. You still love them, but pray for them as well as yourself.
I do believe God changes toxic people, but He is not forceful. That person must want to be changed. If you choose to stay allow God to place it upon your heart to do so. If God gives you permission then He will equip you to endure that person.
For each heart it’s different what we can handle or cannot. But most people who stick around toxic people can become bitter or hurt to the point of not trusting God or anyone else for that matter.
I hope this helps. Thank you for sharing and visiting.
