Friendship Uncut

I took the time to consider aspects of my life today and thought this would encourage your heart.
So many times, we hear about how people can affect our lives. But, have you ever taken time to think about how we affect the lives of others? We all know the sayings, "Be kind!" "Walk in love!" and the most famous one, "You might be the only Jesus anyone will ever meet/see!" These are all true......


But, then there are those persons in your life already....
God has special plans for all His people. But, some of those plans don't include you! I received a forwarf via e-mail from someone on my buddy list that said, "Some people are in your lives for a reason or a season..." It's true...It's actually true.


Everyone that God puts in our lives are there for a reason. It is important, though, that as we stay connected to them that we keep God as the center. If He puts them in our lives, we've got to stay in tune to Him to keep that relationship in tact. When we don't, we lose focus of God's plan and purpose for our friendship/ relationship connection. Then, we end up holding on to someone we should release. Now, this is not for ForeverFriends. But, if you have FRIENDS in your life that don't deserve the title, read on:

Understand this--
It's not always about us. When we hold on to someone, we are holding THEM back. We are holding them back from THEIR place in God, THEIR destiny in God, and THEIR anointing!
DON'T BE SELFISH!!! God's plan for some people that are in your life goes beyond you. One person once said, "truly loving someone is wanting them to be happy in life even if their happiness means you're not a part of it." Let people go!!!! Not just for you; but, so that they can be the person GOD DESIRES FOR THEM TO BECOME!!!
