Are you a reason, a season, or a lifetime? 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 in your life.
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.
When people come into your life for a SEASON it is
because your time 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.
Thank you for being a part of
my life.
