Detachment leads to destruction.

When you’re in a relationship, whether it’s a marriage, parental, sibling or friend, you’re committed to the other person. If the relationship is important to you, you work on it, consistently.

If something happens to break down the relationship, most times the breakup causes distance between the two individuals. This could mean divorce, sibling rivalry or a child gone astray.

The longer this distance cultivates, the relationship starts to break down.

You’ve heard the saying, “absence makes the heart grow fonder.” That may be true in some cases, but when the absence was caused by anger or strife, the opposite becomes true. The more you’re removed from the situation, the less it seems relevant. After a while, you stop thinking about the other person altogether.

Detaching yourself from someone that’s been a part of your life, will ultimately destroy you. It will eat at you, and cause you to be bitter and resentful.

Take the above scenario and think about being detached from God. Christians do it all the time. They get saved and are on fire for God. Something happens and they want God to fix it immediately and He doesn’t, and slowly they begin to drift from God. Now, they’re so far from God that they don’t even think about Him anymore, unless they’re in trouble.

Don’t detach yourself from God. God is the beginning, and whether you believe this or not, God is the forever for all those who believe in Him.

Attach your life to God and you’ll never fear detachment from others.

Psalm 13:1 - “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?”
