Everyone has had the experience of peoplecoming into their lives. Everyone has had the experience of people leaving their lives. There is a reason for both.
Reason God sends people into your life
God is so concerned about people that he matches people up for a reason; mainly to help each other. He puts people together so they can learn something from each other. God keeps the two of you together long enough for that something to be imparted into each of your lives.
It is like the two of are working on two separate jigsaw puzzles. You hold the last piece to his puzzle, and he holds the last piece to yours. Neither puzzle can be complete without the other giving over that last piece. What happens when the puzzle is complete?
Reason God sends people out of your life
When your mission with another person has been fulfilled, God will send that person out of your life. That is indeed not a bad thing. In fact, it is a good thing. It is God's way of saying you have learned everything you need to know from that person.
When God moves a person from your life, He is letting you know that you have learned everything you need to know from that person. That person has learned everything he needs to know from you. Then He places the two of you into two other lives to help them grow and develop.
To continue holding on to a friendship after God says it is over is to go against God. The friendship will be counterproductive to God's will, and you will no longer be under God's grace in that friendship.
There will no longer be power in that friendship because while God is a good God, He will not go against His wishes even for you. God will still be with you. God will still be with the other person, but God will not be part of the friendship. Therefore, there will be no power, and the friendship will not bear fruit.
Many of us try to hold on to friendships long after God sends the other person packing. Many or us try to stay in a friendship after God has said to move on.
Until we get this right, there will always be conflict and chaos. However, when we embrace our friendships and relationships God's way, we will always find joy and peace.
Disclaimer:
This message refers to casual friendships and relationships. This is not a license to walk away from your marriage or family. This is only to let you know that God brings people into your life for a reason, and God removes people out of your life for a reason.
