Your Will
For at least a year, I have been praying that God gives me the desires of His heart and remove my selfish desires. Additionally, I have been repenting, renouncing and denouncing soul ties I made that God never desired for me to have. There has been one soul tie I have been battling for a while. I’ve noticed over the years it has gotten weaker, but it still lurked in the background. One day, I paused from reading the Bible and had a heart-to-heart with God. I once again repented, renounced and denounced that soul tie and confessed to God that I didn’t feel able to receive what God has for me while I’m still battling this soul tie. A few days later, I heard a song that was popular during the time of me and this person’s relationship. Instead of feeling nostalgic and wistful about the old relationship, I felt joy and happiness over how the song felt during that era.
PRAISE GOD! The soul tie finally broke!
With the soul tie breaking, I think I also experienced scales falling from my eyes because I was able to receive an answer I knew but hadn’t settled in my heart. Where God plans for me to go, I couldn’t take that person with me and where God plans for that person to go, I couldn’t go with that person.
This doesn’t mean that I’m better than that person or that person is better than me. It simply means that God has called us all to walk in different spaces and sometimes, you and the person you’re in a relationship with aren’t designed for the same space. However, I have found comfort in desiring the plans that God has for me. I know in His plans is the ultimate life. As long as I continue to seek the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, the career, the house, the marriage, the family, the friends, and everything else will be added to me (Matthew 6:33).
If you’re struggling with a relationship or a friendship ending, continually seek God. Continually ask God to give you the desires of His heart. Continually ask Him for revelation. It may happen in an instance or it may happen in a few years, but as you do the work of the Kingdom, the soul ties will begin to break and the revelation of why those certain relationships didn’t sustain time will unfold.
Trust in Him and trust the process.
