When Love Walks Away
There are times when the deepest act of love is not holding on but releasing. Ecclesiastes 3:6 says there is “a time to keep and a time to cast away.” Sometimes the hardest obedience is to step back from someone you love so dearly, because remaining in the cycle only keeps them from ever facing themselves. Trauma has roots, and often those roots reach all the way back into childhood. The brokenness was not their fault, but what flows out of that unhealed pain can become destructive if never confronted. And if you never leave, they never have to look in the mirror.
Scripture says, “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character” (1 Corinthians 15:33). That is not because love is absent, but because light cannot remain yoked to darkness. To stay bound in that place would mean allowing toxicity to pull you away from the cross, and Yeshua calls us to take up our cross daily and follow Him (Luke 9:23). Sometimes the soul tie is so strong that when you walk away, you feel the crushing of their spirit pressing against you, the weight of their loss echoing in your own heart. That pain is real because the love is real. But even so, true love sometimes looks like stepping aside so God can do what only He can do.
When someone finally realizes they have lost what was pure, they often begin to awaken. It is in that emptiness that the Spirit can confront the patterns they refused to see before. Just as the prodigal son “came to himself” in the far country (Luke 15:17), sometimes it is only the absence of what they took for granted that shakes them awake. Walking away was never about abandoning love, it was about preserving it in truth.
So if anyone wonders, know this: love was never the problem. The letting go was not rejection, it was obedience. The door is still in God’s hands, and His mercy is always reaching. But sometimes, the only way someone can find Him is when you finally step aside.

Praying for those who still live in sin some are friends and some are family I know it’s hurts but we must leave those people in the lords hands and pray for them daily that they will open there eyes we have to let them and but them from a distance and pray for there souls. Period they’re the only ones in charge of their salvation.
Love them and leave them where they are ^*
I’ll be honest, I’ve had to sit on this for a little bit, bc it’s piercing me straight to the heart re the other half of myself, who I will be leaving behind.
But even now, just after reading this, Yeshua is showing me how it’s time for me to get out of the way, so He can continue doing His work in my loved ones.
The thought of me being the one to impede someone else’s sanctification may actually be what I needed to help me let go, so that He can keep doing the work He began in them (and me!)
Yeshua is so kind—He’s been letting me process it, but I tell you right now, it still hurts so bad. Thank You, Lord—He truly is also the Comforter ♥️
Thank you so much for this word! I have been struggling with this for the past month because I walked away from my husband in 2019. I still love him so much. Since then he’s had several girlfriends but I can’t even have one boyfriend. My heart won’t allow it especially because we’re still legally married. I’ve always wondered if I was wrong for leaving but I will wonder no more! Thank you Yeshua! I love you so much for everything you have done and are still doing in my life! I am so grateful to you for putting Sister General Coco in my path! Ilove you Coco Thank you for your obedience❤️
