When God wants to bless you he sends people into your life and when the devil wants to destroy you he also does same. God uses relationships in our lives in important ways. But some relationships are not healthy for you. Toxic relationships can happen between friends, family members, co-workers and romantic relationships. It contaminates your self-esteem, your happiness and the way you see yourself and the world, make you feel drained, depleted, and sometimes even distraught.

 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
