People always come into your
life for a reason, a season, and a lifetime. When you figure out which it is
you know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life
for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or
inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, or to provide you
with guidance and support to aid you physically, emotionally, or even
spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend to you and they are. They are these
for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing
on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they just
walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we
must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled and their work
is done. The prayer you spent up has been answered and it is now time to move
on.
When people come into your
life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you
something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of
joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season and like Spring turns to
Summer and Summer to Fall – the season eventually ends.
LIFETIME relationships teach
you a lifetime of lessons, those things you must build upon in order to have a
solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person
or people (anyway), and put what you have learned to use in all other
relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind, but
friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life.
