Reason, Season, Lifetime

People  come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.  
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do  for that 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.


Think on this in all your relationships.  How does it affect your spiritual growth?  How important is it to learn through relationships?
