There is something notable in the lives of many true born again believers. They start out in their youth always being with many others.

But when they begin to advance in years, many of those they first started out with go another direction. I remember this was the case for me.

As I continued to mature in Christ, the less I felt the need to always lean on the arm of flesh but more and more on the arm of Jesus Christ alone.

Jesus started out with few disciples, then many, then seventy, then multitudes. But when He began to teach and tell them things they did not understand, they began to leave Him for good.

Eventually Judas left Him, "then they all fled," meaning the remaining eleven. Jesus then went the rest of the way alone carrying His Cross to Golgotha.

This is always the path of many saints, and those who fill up heaven. Who started out with many and went the rest of the way alone with Christ up into heaven.

When this begins to happen, you will begin noticing another kind of abounding walk in Christ you would never turn back from. You become partakers of His life in greater blossoming fulness. There is no turning back.

If there are people in your life that have left you because you are flourishing in spiritual growth, let them go. When they do, you will start to thrive in ways you could never before.

“One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.”

― Elisabeth Elliot
