When spiritual awakening creates distance in close friendships

My best friend and I have been supporting each other through everything for fifteen years but she's found God in a way that makes her judge choices I'm making and I love her but I can't keep having conversations where I feel like she's trying to save me. We're both trying to be loving but we're hurting each other and I don't know how to bridge this gap.

What we've seen

Love and judgment cannot occupy the same heart, yet both believe they are choosing love.
