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 there for a 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; their work is done. The prayer you sent 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/people (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life.
Now that i think about it, then meaning of this article is real.
Yes, everything happens for a reason 🙂
REASON: Just true friendship found online. Never expect it, never see it coming and never unhappy about it.
Sounds so similar that a close friend of mine says that so often to me being like “godsend” to her. A reason to have a friend is probably is what’s all about. Strangely as your sayings about bringing relationship to an end as in my case to decide whether or not friendship is real. I did not make that mistake and did not let it go but we have become closer than ever. I like the way it turned out and we have been friends for almost a year now and I haven’t changed much regarding caring feelings towards her.
SEASON: it was last late December in winter time, we met online and winter comes again. I’m glad it did not end but it could have happened for the worse. So many things have happened since then but I’m holding tight not to lose sight of her. Can’t guarantee for every season to come if friend of yours may one day end it though. But memories will be always there and whatever it will happens, that special friend will always have a special place in my heart for every season.
LIFETIME: Trust, faith and love are the main reasons our friendship will last (hopefully) a lifetime. Can’t it be? Only the future knows? But you can make it happen!
Hi
