“Embracing Solitude: My Journey of Growth and Accountability in Christ 🕊️”

I’m coming to a realization that as I walk in my identity with Christ, I prefer solitude because I’m not yet finished growing.

God holds us accountable to one another, and in my private time, I’m learning to hold myself accountable. I don’t want to be a hypocrite.

Just because you’re alone doesn’t mean you’re not right where you’re meant to be. You are divinely positioned for glorified provision.

I want my life to be an example of God’s glory. So, in this separation, isolation, and incubation, I’m learning what the Lord wants for me and how to glorify Him rightly.

I don’t hang around people because if I spoke my true feelings, they wouldn’t want to hear them. I know people who drink, drug, engage in sexual immorality, and live dishonestly. It’s my responsibility to tell them about themselves (with love), but even with love, they often see it as an attack rather than accountability.

Knowing what God expects of me, it’s hard to be around people who know what God expects of them but don’t follow His word. That’s when I come in. Not only are they hearing from God, but now they’re hearing from a child of God as well. I don’t come around people to bother them about their sin. If I’m invited and agree to come, I may say something if I see something because I’m required by God and Jesus Christ to speak up. I may not be required to say something every time because there will be moments when the Lord tells me to hold my tongue. But for the most part, He will tell me to speak up.

If I’m being honest, I don’t have the courage to do so yet. I know people won’t want to hear what I have to say, but I know I’ll stand firm in my beliefs. Doing so may destroy relationships, but I’m okay with that. As long as I do my part and speak with love and truth, I’ll have no regrets. I only pray that by the end of our relationship, I’ve planted a seed that only the Lord can water. May God’s glory reign forever and ever. In Jesus’s name, amen. 🙏🏽💕
