How big is your circle?
I'm probably in a different situation from you. I'm married and have 8 children. This is my predominant circle. I have a few close friends from church, and a couple of good work relationships.
What family, church, and work relationships do you have?

May God bless you for honouring your priesthood. Got great relationship with some brethren from my local church. Good network too. Social friendship keeps on disconnecting with time because of differences here and there, main main reason is spreading good news so whenever I find out the other people are not sailing the same, I cut the story.

my main reason is spreading good news (Gospel) so whenever I find out the other people ("friends") are not sailing the same boat, I cut the story short. Cessation of the friendship or association.

Why do you sever the relationships? Don't you believe God put you in their lives for a reason? Even those who don't wish to hear the gospel can still see the gospel lived out by you? It is often out of relationships that unbelievers are saved. If you live as Christ before them, an ongoing relationship will lead them to you when trials come in life.
Jesus ate with and lived amongst sinners. Those are the ones He came for. Have you ever considered that God has unbelievers in your life on purpose?

Thanks for your reply but you were close to getting my point right. Two cannot walk together unless they agree.

You aren't walking together. You are already on different paths. The only way to get them onto your path is to meet at the intersections.
