I received an email today that was about relationships and in the email it talked about people who are in your life for a "reason", "season", or "lifetime". Below is an explanation of each:
Reason
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.
Season
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
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
I think it is very interesting to think about each of these and realize that each are gift and we should appreciate the people who come into our lives whether they are a reason, season, or lifetime presence.
