Functional connections between colleagues, friends, and families are not about what they can do for you but what qualities they can instill in you. 1 John 3:18 says, "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
Remember, everything in life takes action and effort. You must put in the work to grow if those qualities are not beneficial and reassess your relationship so that you must develop. Toxic links are never helpful or healthy. If it is loving and caring, then improve your relationship and build better bridges to grow. Remember, even we must also recognize when a person has been toxic, nasty, or unloving, and this does not mean you do not love them, but it means you create distance to help better your life and help to create a space where God can do a work in their lives. Sometimes a broken person does not know they are broken until God reveals the pieces in their heart. Let God do a work of art in that response area and remove yourself so that He can better open their heart to His love. Sometimes you are standing in the way of progress and fulfilling joy. Development, Guidance, Growth, Healing, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation is all our Father wants. Removing ourselves from the equation is sometimes the best thing we could ever do. You never know where the Father may lead you, He may cross paths with this relationship again as seasons change and you mature!
God bless, and as I always say, " YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, YOU ARE LOVELY, I LOVE YOU, AND YOU KNOW GOD LOVES YOU TOO!"
