If They Pull You Closer To God, Keep Them
Finding peace starts with surrendering our worries to the universe and trusting that God’s guidance will meet us in the middle of our uncertainty. Best-selling author of Finding God Every Day, Rebecca Simon, reminds us to trust God’s timing, embrace patience, and lean on His presence through every season of life.
The right people don’t pull you away from your faith — they quietly bring you back to it. Keep the ones who do
If they pull you closer to God, keep them. Not because they’re perfect, but because your spirit feels steadier around them. Because loving them doesn’t cost you your peace or pull you away from who you’re becoming. The right people don’t replace your faith — they quietly strengthen it. They don’t compete with God’s place in your life; they honor it.
Pay attention to how you feel after being around someone. Do you feel more grounded? More patient? More honest with yourself? Do they encourage growth, reflection, and gentleness — not just excitement or intensity? The people meant to stay won’t distract you from your values or your healing. They’ll support both, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Anyone who helps you trust God more, love more intentionally, and live with greater integrity is a gift. Not everyone is meant to walk with you forever — but the ones who bring you closer to God are worth holding onto.
