People come into your life for a reason, a
season or a lifetime. When you figure
out which one it is, you will know what
to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a
REASON, it is usually to meet a need you
have expressed. They have come to
assist you through a difficulty; to
provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or
spiritually. They may seem like a
godsend, and they are. They are there
for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing 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 walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to
take a stand. What we must realize is
that our need has been met, our desire
fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer
you sent up has been answered and
now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a
SEASON, because your turn has come to
share, grow or learn. They 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.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime
lessons; things you must build upon in
order to have a solid emotional
foundation. Your job is to accept the
lesson, love the person, 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.
