People come into our 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 our life for a Reason, it is usually to meet a need we have expressed. They come to assist us through a difficulty, to provide us with guidance or support, to aid us physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason we need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on our 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 us 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.
Sometimes people come into our life for a Season. Because our turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring us an experience of peace or make us laugh. They may teach us something we have never done. They usually give us an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real, but only for a season.
Lifetime relationships teach us life time lessons, things we build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Our job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what we have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of our life.
It is said Love is Blind but Friendship is Clairvoyant.
