Ecclesiastes 3:1       Everything Has Its Time

"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven".

People will come and go in your life. Some stay a life time, some stay one season. But there is a reason and a purpose for all who come in and out of our lives. All our days are ordained and the Lord intervenes often with meetings between people. The bible tells us we may be entertaining an angel right here on earth and then never see then again. I believe relationships, friendships, jobs, etc..are for seasons. We should accept when to let things go and when to hold on and fight. I pray for all of my relationships and I ask that they be Godly relationships based on the common ground of loving Jesus. I am not interested in having certain people in my life at this stage of the game. I want my friends to be Christian sisters that I can call anytime, day or night, and ask that they pray with me. Women that love me and will celebrate my successes and mourn my losses. I am not interested in techno friends who only keep in touch through Facebook and text messages. I am going through so much in my personal life right now that is so profound and so deep and so real that I am valuing my deep true relationships, not surface shallow ones. So I call upon the Lord often to help me with my assessment of my circle of friends. I ask Him to reveal their hearts to me so I know who is for me or against. I believe that many of us are going through the same struggles and trials of who is who. I do feel that if I cannot rely on you during my darkest of days, then I certainly do not need you in the light. So if you like me, are going through some things and are disappointed in the way others have responded or behaved, just meditate on this scripture that I posted. For there is a reason and a purpose for all things. When you align your life and all that are in it, up to the will of God then you are in the best hands you can ever be. So stop doubting and evaluating and trust on the One that you can rely on all of your days. And appreciate those special people in your life He blessed you with and tell them you love them and let them know you care and value them. It may be just what they need.
